Leaders Guide

Week of October 26, 2014

Dear Leaders, Please use the sermon guide in your group. You might
want to make some extra copies for some group members. If time
allows, have the group craft 2-3 prayer requests for GFC that they
could use a group and as individuals in the weeks and months to come.

LOOKING BACK
Connectivity: You & Your Church
Saboteurs and Superstars Acts 20:25-38

It is time to focus on the You and Your Church part of this series!
1. Below is a fascinating drawing! The children are having all kinds of different experiences in relationship
to the tree, and each tells a story. We each have a story with our church too. Take some time to
observe the children and decide which one best represents where you are with your church and its
people and its Lord.


2. What is the one primary lesson you will take away from the series, Connectivity: You and Your Church? Try
to be as precise as possible.

3. What next step will you take regarding you and your church?

influenced by his experience 10 years earlier in Acts 16?
