Getting students to participate in a small group is like...

I truly enjoy small groups. They are possibly my favorite thing about being on staff. The Lord has blessed me with awesome freshman groups the last two years, so it helps that my experience has been positive. It can be challenging to get students to join a small group. It seems their schedules are always incredibly busy, and for some it just is not a priority. But those that choose to come, in my experience, have stayed connected and really enjoyed it. The group shares vulnerably based on how well they know each other. Sometimes groups mesh quickly and feel instantly connected, and others take much more work to foster community. ~Miki
