Global Connect Group Pre-Study Questions
These questions are designed for small group discussion and mirror training sessions for group leaders. Throughout these questions you will see the word “mission.” Think of this word broadly in terms of both giving and receiving help and working alongside others. Fundamentally, United Methodists believe that we participate in God’s mission, God’s work in the world. “Mission,” as a result, can be everything from small acts of grace and kindness to international efforts aimed at structural injustice. God is in it all and may God also be in your conversation.”
