Inspiration for Small Groups and Sunday School Classes
Small groups are places of connection, curiosity, and transformation—and the Month of Advocacy is a great time for your group to grow together in understanding, encouragement, and action. Below you’ll find study guides, discussion prompts, activities, and reflection tools designed to spark honest conversation, nurture mutual support, and explore what it means to advocate for women in ministry. In engaging with these materials, your group participates in a wider movement toward justice, joy, and faithful shared leadership in the church
