One way to make sure you hear personal updates from everyone in your small group is by doing a '2 minute drill'. As you go around the room, each person has 2 minutes to share updates and prayer requests with the group. In order to keep things focused you can encourage each person to share about their 'personal growth areas' - or encourage everyone to limit their update to one area (i.e. character qualities). Most people appreciate this approach because it prevents one person from dominating the time and allows each to person to share - even the more quiet members. If there is time, and after everyone has shared, you can go back and hear more from a person when it's necessary.
