And after you pray for them, let them know you are talking to your Heavenly Father about them and your thankfulness for them. Without them, you wouldn’t have a group! You volunteer to lead them as their group member, but remember that they volunteer to be members of your group – they don’t have to be there. Thank the Lord for them…and let them know you’re praying – Don’t forget to thank the Lord for your group members.Write a note – it’s the same idea as above – people value hand-crafted notes because of the time and effort that goes into making them.It costs zero dollars to make someone feel good by using words to compliment them! Brag on them in front of other group members – Phrases like, “I really appreciate Bob teaching for me last week – I heard he did a super job!” and “I really like the way Sherry is so friendly to the guests who come to our group” can be ways to publicly acknowledge people for acts of service they perform on the group’s behalf.Say thanks to the members of your group by doing one or more of the following: Consider arranging for a substitute teacher for them – or teach their group yourself – and let those busy teachers who seldom get any “adult time” to reconnect with the group that launched them into service as “missionaries to kids.” Give them a break – Some group leaders who teach children and students would enjoy a day where they could attend an adult Bible study group again – even if it’s just one day.Sometimes a tangible “thank you” appeals to some leader’s “love language” of gifts. Provide a small gift – A $5 or $10 gift card to a group leader’s favorite coffee joint, restaurant, or bookstore is a nice surprise.When you catch a group leader doing something good, make a mental note to craft a hand-written note and let them know you’re thankful for their ministry, and the good thing you caught them doing.
