Connection Ministries has made available online video training for the Summer Friendship Gathering teams!

Please be sure your volunteer team watches the online training videos before your Gathering. Downloadable note pages are available with each video, along with this year’s Large Group Leader’s Guide, Discussion Group Leader’s Guide, and craft template.

Also available are three video episodes over the Large Group Bible lessons, to help give Bible teachers ideas for leading their lessons. Like Peter, Jesus calls each of us to get out of our boats and follow Him.
