Growth Ideas 101: Bible Studies
What ideas are you thinking about for Bible Study, perhaps hosted in a more visible location than inside your community of faith – a public space like a coffee shop, restaurant, community centre, gathering room in an apartment building, library, in a retirement community centre, long-term care home, or out on your church’s own front lawn? (Re)generate participant Tori Mullin and growth animator colleague, shared this practice they did at the re) generate gathering. “Remember and tell the story
Led by John Bell at Five Oaks, June 2025
1. Read the first three verses of a bible story aloud.
2. Invite participants to sit in groups of 2-4 and finish telling the story to one another from memory.
3. As a large group, walk through the story together from the Biblical text. What did you remember? What did you miss?
Consider sharing different versions of the Bible text for added reflection. What are your take-a-ways? Do you have other ideas for Bible study practices?
Share your ideas with me.
