Listening Circles
Once per month, a small group of adults (7-8 people) get together for dinner, to pray together, and to play a card game over a meal called, “My Neighbor’s Voice: Listening Cards.” The game is intentional about encouraging vulnerability with a small group, fostering open dialogue on topics that matter, and bringing people together. In an increasingly polarized world, Parkwood is working to cultivate intentional listening as a spiritual discipline. If you’re interested in joining a Listening Circle, please email Pastor Adam: adam.benson@nccumc.org.
