"Circle of Three" Meeting Material
Embedded Files
In your Circle of Threes, you can: study a Bible passage, go for a socially-distanced walk or hike, read and discuss a book or biography together, memorize a verse of Scripture every week, pray for others or for your community, connect with a missionary and pray for them. What we most want you to do is to be able to go through this unique time of life with others and to know you are not alone.
If you need material to discuss during your Circle of Three gatherings, you can use the following prompts for 6 of your meetings.
