Scheduled fellowship is a great time to share life with one another as it creates an open space to talk about everyday happenings with each member of the group. Fellowship can happen during a meal before discussion begins or in planned fellowships that happen outside regularly scheduled meeting times. Meals are to be planned by the Shepherds, whether it is
to have a potluck or to rotate who is in charge of snacks each meeting. Meals are not necessary, but can be found to be a very beneficial element to Life Group Fellowship.

Prayer is an important part of sharing life together as the group meets with God. Prayer can be a time of worship and adoration or a time of intercession and requests. There will be resources and training to help equip shepherds in the area of prayer for the group, so it is not a time of talking about trials but move beyond the standard practice of prayer requests. Worship as a group is a powerful way to create spiritual bonds. Worship can consist of a musician in the group leading in song or spending time praising God through the act of prayer. There will be resources available to assist with these elements.

One way to build long lasting relationships is through serving one another and keeping one another active in the area of sharing Jesus with others. Evergreen has countless options in how Life Groups can serve with one another in various ministries and projects. Shepherds can contact their S.O.S. or the Discipleship Pastor for ideas.
