WHAT IS ROOTED?

Week 1

 
 
 
 

During Your Group:

  • Ensure each person has their workbook. Even if they have been thru Rooted before, they should start with a new book.

  • Start with an icebreaker (see pg. 84 of the Facilitator Guide or Questions in a Box app). 

  • Ask this question: What are you hoping to get out of Rooted? The answers to these questions will be very helpful for the prophetic prayer/blessing on week 10. 

  • Have your group members read & sign the Rooted Covenant on pg. 11 and keep this in their book.  What happens at Rooted is confidential and needs to stay within the group. 

  • Remember your group is a Safe Place. Consider asking your group what a Safe Place means to them. 

  • Share with your group why you are taking notes.  They will be used for something later and are not shared with anyone!

  • After sharing your story, assign two people to share their story in session 2.

  • Each participants daily work will begin with Day 1 of Week 2 in the workbook. This will fuel your discussion next week!

  • Decide how your group will communicate during the week. (text, email, GroupMe app)  Remember as the facilitator you lead out in this.  

  • Tell your group that the prayer experience will be after session 3 and before session 5.  Ask your group to bring their calendars next week in order to set a date.

Reminders:

  • Pray for your group!

  • Be sure to download the Church Center app. Take attendance after your group time.
