The motel guests enjoy the presence of small groups and value simple and honest conversation about life, family, and spiritual matters. Your ministry of listening, laughing, and praying together brings God’s love in unexpected and unusual ways. Small talk can lead to God talk.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Food and Fellowship&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Small groups show around 10:30 a.m. and are greeted by an on-site leader from our ministry and everyone usually remains until noon. Small groups purchase the breakfast then serve it with cooking equipment that’s already at the motel. After breakfast, the whole group enjoys a short worship service with a message and prayer.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p face="arial"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Better Together&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We also have an optional three-week training curriculum for your small group, which will help your group discover practical ways to use the gifts God has given to the group allowing your group to get the most out of your experience.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Getting started is as easy as 1-2-3. Here’s how…&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ol style="font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;li&gt;You will need at least 8 people in your group committed to show up. If you are short handed, see if you can get a few friends or family members to help you. Also we can blend your small group with another small group.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Schedule a Sunday to serve with our Motel Coordinator by sending an email to: &lt;a href="mailto:sc.outreach@gmail.com"&gt;sc.outreach@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt; Other groups may have submitted the same date as you so pick an alternate date as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Request the optional three-week small group training curriculum and we will make arrangements for us to get it to you. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear: both; padding-bottom: 0.25em; font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8367021884696192987-1202141459370639514?l=algodonmotel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8367021884696192987/posts/default/1202141459370639514'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8367021884696192987/posts/default/1202141459370639514'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://algodonmotel.blogspot.com/2007/07/m-entoring-o-thers-t-oward-e-ffective-l.html' title=''/><author><name>max</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00290808195603024220</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_sbByz2n87pc/SsP4xsC8zqI/AAAAAAAAC4Y/XWNH0wGkXUk/S220/Avatar.png'/></author></entry></feed>
