Planning a Group Service Project

Planning a Group Service Project

This resource is full of practical tools for both group leaders and church staff.

The concept of serving others almost always sounds good when people talk about it. But sometimes we forget to move forward and actually serve. Sometimes we just don't know how. This resource is a great way for individual small groups to get in the game. It will take you through the process of planning a service event from beginning to end, and includes several helpful tips and practical ideas.

This resource is also a great tool for pastors and churches. The "Event Planning Packet" contains several forms and guidelines that will be useful in organizing different projects and events. And "60 Ways to Reach Out" provides a wealth of real-life projects that can help all of your groups impact your community.
