Darryl Needs Your Help

When Darryl began leading a small group six months ago, it started with a bang! People came because they liked the curriculum...and the snacks! (Darryl's wife is an excellent cook!) Lately however...the "new" has worn off and Darryl is noticing that relationships within the group are still quite shallow. While members seem to be really getting into the studies, they don't seem to be connecting to one another on the deeper level Darryl hoped for. Beyond the study focus, they don't seem to understand "why" they are there. How can Darryl move the group beyond shallow acquaintance, to genuine, vibrant community? What advice would you give Darryl? Please post your response below.
