1Opening Question

What or who inspires you and why?

2Assignment #1: Scripture

Reading Assignment

Read 1 Corinthians 9:24-27 and answer the following questions.

What motivates you to serve on the weekends?

How would you rate yourself as being a motivator on a scale of 1 to 5? (1= Needs development, 5= Model for others to follow) Why?

What do you feel this scripture says about motivation?

3Assignment #2: Article Reading

Article Assignment

Read the article "Motivating Volunteers" by Greg Asimakoupoulos and answer the questions that follow.

Looking at the Connections Ministry: what do we do well to motivate our volunteers?

What do we need to work on?

How would you go about building relationships with the members of your team? How did someone do that for you?

How do you call out where improvement is needed with a volunteer while still providing encouragement? How have you seen this modeled before?

What makes you feel appreciated when you are serving? How can you make your team feel that way?

4Assignment #3: Application

Write three thank you notes to volunteers on the team. Make them specific based on your observations from their interactions with our guests.

Take the time to check-in with two team members, see what is going on in their life, how is their family, what is going on at work, etc… What did you learn? How did it make them feel?
