Small Group Covenant from Saddleback HSM

Saw this on Josh Griffin's blog tonight and thought that this was really good stuff. Will probably use it or something similar for my high school small group.

Here is the small group covenant from the front of our student journal this year. If it would work for you, copy/paste! Edit at will …

CONSISTENT
I promise to regularly attend my small group. If I have to miss, I will responsibly let my small group leader know.

COMPASSIONATE
I promise to be patient, loving, and forgiving toward my small group family because I understand that I am a part of a family of students who want to grow.

TEACHABLE
I joined this small group to grow spiritually, so I promise to do my part by listening attentively with an open heart, as well as bring my Bible and notebook each week.

AUTHENTIC
I promise to be open and honest about my life with my small group at all times, allowing for accountability and encouragement between my small group and myself.

CONFIDENTIAL
I promise to honor my small group by not communicating what we discuss with anyone outside of our group.

Thanks to Jessica for letting me share it!
