I'll be informing group members of these Discussion Group Guidelines , so you won't have to do it alone. Remind early rather than late, and you'll have a healthy group with few problems. It'll keep everybody happier. Answering questions and praying for members' needs Members of your group may e-mail you with questions about the passage we're studying, or to pray for them concerning needs they have in their lives. If you have questions you can't answer, refer them to Pastor Ralph.
People come with all sorts of needs.
Please don't initiate any other type of care ministry without first counseling and getting permission from Pastor Ralph. Remember, your role isn't to be the group messiah, but to create a healthy group where the Body can minister to each others' needs. I expect the moderators to remain loyal to me in all their comments to members in their discussion groups and via private e-mails to members. We may have some private disagreements, but these are not to be aired with the group members or it will undermine authority in the group. I' ll do my very best to work it out.
