As you prepare to lead your class through the journey of My316, I thought I’d give a few details that might help along the way:

1. Pray-there is nothing more critical than your heart as a leader centered on Jesus Christ and His will and passion for you and for your class. My316 is a great method; don’t miss Jesus and the point of this emphasis, sharing what He has done in our lives with a lost world that needs Him.

2. Check out the My316 Lessons online. Remember you can do a full hour of the lesson for the four weeks, or do the supplemental lesson to go along with your Explore the Bible or Bible Studies for Life lesson. You can also check out many more resources at bgco.org/my316.

3. For Week 1 in particular, you will be giving an overview of what My316 is, where you all will be headed. There will be a very powerful focus on how we came to faith in Christ, particularly, who prayed for us, who shared the Gospel with us, and who lived the Gospel before us. Be prepared to share your own journey, but also, take some time this week to contact some folks in your class to be prepared to share, both in the introduction, but perhaps later in the lesson as well.

4. Use the handouts. These are located as the last page or so past the meat of the lesson in the leader guide and online leader guide. This not only gives focus to the lesson during the hour, but it also gives something to take home. It is likely that take home sheet will be a powerful reminder of the emphasis. Please call us in the office if we can help you produce these sheets.

Be watching for next week’s update as we experience My316 together!

For God so Loved the World!
