Leader Guide

The Spanish translation of this product is coming soon.

The Leader's Guide is a comprehensive, spiral-bound guide that fully equips any leader, no matter their experience level. Each lesson is designed to carry you from personal preparation through confident, faithfully grounded teaching.

Each lesson in the Leader's Guide is presented in three parts: Getting Ready, Preparing the Content, and Presenting the Lesson.

Getting Ready

• This part gives you a chance to collect what you need, both spiritually and practically, before you dive into the lesson content.

Preparing the Content

• This section allows you to understand and become comfortable with the lesson content before you share it with your group.

Presenting the Lesson

• In this section, you will find lesson teaching tips, which is the heart of the Leader’s Guide. This section is designed to help you lead with confidence, creativity, and theological integrity.
• Much of the content appears in comment boxes keyed closely to the pages of the embedded Participant’s Guide. This allows you to follow the Participant’s Guide as you present the lesson. 
• The teaching tips include practical suggestions for leading the group meeting effectively, a home-preparation check-in, and discussion prompts as well as reminders and announcements to share with the group.
• Supplemental content for a Traditions and Treasures section rounds out the lesson and helps participants connect Church teaching to the broader life of worship and devotion.

The online access gives leaders a full digital version of the Invited program, designed to help them prepare each lesson and manage the group process from week to week. It includes:

• Digital Leader's Guide
