Spiritual Formation groups

Since my spiritual formation class is so large (53 students) I’ve divided the class into groups so they can help each other.
Each group will meet weekly at the end of class.  All semester, they will blog about their faith journeys.
I’m hoping students will challenge one another to practice what they learn in class, especially the spiritual disciplines.
I’m also expecting students to establish new friendships with group members.
What’s my greatest goal?  Keeping students from spending group time playing computer games.
