Holistic Small Groups

Всей группой изучите книгу "Три цвета сообщества"

Поскольку книга "Три цвета сообщества" посвящена тому, как обнаружить и обуздать мощную динамику, которая составляет нашу жизнь, будет очень полезно изучить её всей группой.

Вы можете скачать бесплатные "Руководства для чтения и обсуждения", которые предлагают вам простой трёхнедельный план. Даже если кто-то в вашей группе не любит читать, они всё равно могут принять участие, всего лишь пройдя тестирование на определение качеств сообщества и получив общее представление о всей теме.

Опубликовано ср 8 Июн 2011 - 4:59после полудня пользователем Ian Campbell

The purpose of this series is to offer some basic “entry points” for beginning to explore your Minimum Factor graph.

This post is for those whose Minimum Factor is Holistic Small Groups.

Two initial points need to be made.

NCD and The Salvation Army

Опубликовано ср 11 мая 2011 - 9:40после полудня пользователем Noel Wright

Currently 99 UK corps (churches) within The Salvation Army are actively engaging with NCD. 54 of these are part of the ‘Transforming Churches Process’ and many of them are slowly discovering that God is working through this new approach to ministry. What follows is a selection of comments from 8 of these corps, and all are being both challenged and inspired by NCD.

This is the second of a series of articles about NCD in The Salvation Army. Read the first article in the series.

It has been suggested that we should start something with the end in mind. You may recall the previous article identifying and celebrating something that is characteristic of The Salvation Army: Need-oriented Evangelism - The ability to acutely identify the needs of suffering humanity and respond accordingly. What a blessing!

If there is a new Christian in your church, ask how they are going and how you might help meet any needs they have.

Holistic Small Groups

Growing churches have developed a system of small groups where individual believers can find intimate community, practical help, and intense spiritual interaction. In these groups, people not only discuss biblical texts and listen to their leader's interesting explanations, but they apply biblical insights to the questions the participants have about everyday life issues...

NCD tells us that Small Groups - healthy ones - are the most crucial factor in the quality of churches. But how to keep them these effective?

Personal Contributions to Quality Characteristics

Опубликовано чт 31 Авг 2006 - 2:41после полудня пользователем Heidi Fishlock

Empowering Leadership (EL) and Need-Oriented Evangelism (NOE) are the two Qaulity Characteristics (QCs) which I often lack to have enthusiasm for especially when it comes to me personally contributing something in these areas for the positive growth of my Church.Ã‚Â I don't have leadership and evangelism in my "gift mix”, and together with a lack of NCD knowledge, it was little wonder that a while back I ended up concluding there was no point to even thinking about them.Ã‚Â Thankfully, since then, God has shown me ways in which I can contribute to these QCs without "chea

Here are some 'Quality Characteristic Hand' photos I took that made up part of a thematic photo panel in the foyer of our church. At the bottom is a mock up of the photo panel itself.

You can click the photos to download the originals if you like.

Hope it is useful or prompts your own ideas.
