FUSE & Elevate Weekend in Review: Leader Edition Volume #1
Posted by rpcleaderconnect on February 10, 2010
Weekend Teaching Series: Fantastic Four- Heroes of the Faith (Week 1 of 4)
Sermon in a Sentence/Big Idea: We all have a past filled with mistakes, but we can’t let that ruin our potential to be a Hero of the Faith.
Service Length: 70 minutes, the worship and small groups were on time this week, but the message went three minutes over.
Understandable Message: We began a new series called “Fantastic Four- Heroes of the Faith” This series is dedicated to helping students realize that the Bible is full of incredible stories of amazing individuals who define the word “HERO.” We all have heroes that we look up to for one reason or another. We’ve picked four Bible heroes that we think deserve our admiration and attention. This week we looked at Peter and how he went from hopeless to hero! His past was marked by one failure after another, yet he turned himself around and became an incredible leader in the early church.
Leader/Student Involvement: There were multiple leaders gone this week which made small groups more difficult. There were several groups that mixed grades and were larger sizes. Leaders you were effective at managing through that and still connected with the students. Worship had a good energy this week. It would be great to see some more leaders plug into the worship experience with the students on a regular basis, and especially when leaders are absent.
Students worked well with the changes and we had a few new students. Let’s pray they come back! A goal here is to get the students mixing more as they arrive as opposed to all just sitting and/or standing around before service. Leaders let’s continue to focus on creating more community in this area.
Overall the involvement was good.
Element of Fun/Positive Environment: It seemed like small groups being at the front of service was a nice change in creating some more energy up front. The students were connected with the leaders and the conversations were moving along through most groups. The students seemed to respond to the humor and stories in the message that connected to the big idea.
Music Playlist: Tell the World-Hillsong, I Will Go- Starfield, Take it all- Hillsong
Favorite Moment: My favorite moment was telling my Hulk Hogan story because it brought back old memories, many students knew who he was, there was laughter, and it connected well with the message.
