Webinar: Let's Pray

Prayer is one of the most vital and most popular apps on the Table. We hear so many stories of people being encouraged, supported and lifted up through the Prayer Wall. For this webinar we walk through the Prayer Wall, talking about how your church can get the most out of the Prayer Wall. We talk about why prayer on the Table is so revolutionary and how you can do more with it. We talk about searching for prayers, exploring the history of prayers and notifications. We also talk about more involved uses, like integrating the Prayer Wall with your prayer ministry and using the Prayer Wall in groups.

We've also got two versions of this webinar. You can get the full 25-minute version or watch this quick, 8-minute version:

Let's Pray Webinar

We hear so many amazing things happening through the Table's Prayer Wall:

• People are praying more.
• It's encouraging people in the hospital in their moment of need.
• They're praying for people they don't even know and then introducing themselves on Sunday.
• It's encouraging people to be less hypocritical.
• It's prompting more hospital visits (real world action is one of our goals!).
• People are experiencing an "unexplainable feeling of encouragement." It's "so awesome and uplifting."

So our next Round Table webinar is going to be all about prayer. We'll talk about how your church can get the most out of the Prayer Wall. We'll cover the basics like search, history, anonymous posting and notifications. We'll also cover more involved ways to use the Prayer Wall, like connecting it with your current prayer ministry and using the Prayer Wall in groups.

Webinar: Small Groups Q&A with David Stark

For this week's Round Table webinar we brought in church consultant David Stark to talk about making the most of small groups on the Table. David has been a small group consultant for 17 years and helps start and grow small group ministries in churches all over the country. He's the author of Growing People Through Small Groups and LifeKeys: Discover Who You Are.

Watch as David talks about how to supercharge your small groups ministry with the Table:

Watch: Small Groups Q&A With David Stark (37:00)

Notes:

• With the communication revolution we're more connected that small groups used to be. That means small groups can go deeper.
• Leaders: Create a group on the Table for small group leaders. Add a video training channel, share curriculum in the discussion board with file sharing, use the Prayer Wall to pray for one another.
• The Table makes it easier for leaders to connect with organic groups, not to control them but to offer support.
• The Table helps get the program side out of the way so the body can be the body.
• The next generation is already sharing like this, so if you're not doing it you're going backward.
• Frees up pastors to do more.
• Where do I start? Start with the tools that are most exciting for you.
