We will this week focus on:

1) Administration tasks required of GLs: CA and team will brief on:

a. Monday 17th August 2026 Physical class

b. We shall all meet at the Sanctuary of CBC at 1915hrs for the Welcome/Prayer, 1 hymn and dismissal to groups. The SP and children will also meet at the Sanctuary at the same time. (SDGs are not included)

c. Pre-class prayer is at 1900hrs in the Annex room, level 2 on Monday’s physical classes.

2) Conducting your first class night for your group: We will go through an example of how you can conduct your 1st class night group meeting/1st Discussion group

Can GLs in the 4 group chats put out a simple plan consisting of:

a) The prayer you will have for your men and group to open and close the 1st class meeting on the 17th August 2026 and 20th for the SDG.

b) A statement you can say to introduce the study of Romans to your group, you may use anything you learnt from the leaders’ workshop on the 1st August 2026.

c) How you would introduce yourself and the members to each other i.e. icebreaker

d) Specific clear instructions you want your members to need to know or be reminded to have a smooth transition to discussion of questions for online and physical classes for the rest of the 29 lessons this coming year

Please pen your prayer, thoughts and plans in your group chats so that all might benefit and know and come share them this Saturday so they might also use them this coming Monday 17th August 2026

See you all this Saturday morning!
