New! Feature to Watch RightNow Media Together
RightNow Media has added a cool new feature! Click the "Watch as a Virtual Group" button to open up a new web page where you can:
Copy the link and send to all of your Life Group members.
Click "Start the Video" once everyone is ready.
Now the group can watch the study together, no matter where they are.
This feature is working well for my Monday night men’s Life Group. We are back in the building, but some are still not able to join us onsite. What I do is connect my laptop to the HDMI cable in Hub 1 and send the link to those men wanting to participate from home. Done! Now they can join us to watch the study using their own RightNow Media account. I also send them a Zoom link so they can take part in the follow-up conversation.
As we move into a post-COVID season, I think this tool will prove very useful to Life Groups that are seeking to include everyone and provide them with multiple options for participating.
How to Start a Group and Love It.
For some, the idea of starting a group sounds a bit scary. But it really isn’t. Because the point of getting together is NOT knowing how to do everything perfectly, or having it all figured out, but simply connecting with a handful of other people who are learning and growing in their walk with Christ and with each other.
At Hillcrest, we provide you with the resources you need to get your group started and to grow in ways that are healthy and life-changing.
Community is a video-based study on RightNow Media that is specifically designed for launching new Life Groups, and doing it well. You’ll explore how to build deep relationships with the people in your group and the serve the larger community around you. You’ll learn why your unique story matters… to God and the people around you.
It’s a great way for Life Groups to grow together. The optional conversation guide (for purchase) will walk you through each session with group starters, leader’s notes, discussion questions, and a weekly reading.
Sessions include:
Show Up
Pursue God
Join In
