Monday Morning Small Group Resources

Most workers enter the week regretting that the weekend is over and find it challenging to get back into the flow of the work week. As a result, productivity is lower on Monday than any other day of the week. There are even more heart attacks and suicides on Monday than any other day.

But that is not how God meant it to be. God created work before the fall and called it “very good.” So how do we change our outlook on work? By giving our Monday’s back to God.  Imagine all of your small group members simultaneously living for God in their daily work. It would be the start of a Monday Revolution!
