Small Group Opportunities
Listening Circles
We’ve started new small groups called “Listening Circles,” where 5-8 people get together, have dinner and play a game, called “My Neighbor’s Voice,” at least once per month. The card game “My Neighbor’s Voice” is played by each person picking a card with a category on it, and that person has three minutes to answer the question or prompt on the card. The main rule is no cross-talk: the rest of the group must listen and no one can respond to someone’s answer. After each person has answered a card, you debrief: how did you experience that session? What did you learn about your neighbors? It’s a wonderful way to be intentional about how getting to know your neighbors and build bridges across topics where there are often divides. If you would like to join a Circle, please reach out to me email Adam Benson.
Lectio Divina
Starting on Wednesday, February 7 at noon, we will start a hybrid (online and in-person) small group gathering where we will read scripture using an ancient practice called Lectio Divina, and the purpose of this kind of reading is to listen: both listen for how God or how the text is speaking into our lives, today. We will also have some time for visiting and getting to know one another, in-person and online. This time will be offered each Wednesday @ noon until March 20th, then we’ll take a two-week break, and resume on Wednesday, April 10 @ noon. To join in-person, you may come to the church and there will be directions to the fellowship hall. There will also be an online option, email Adam Benson for details.

Book Study: “Soul Reset” by Junius Dotson
A Book Study called “Soul Reset” on Sunday afternoons, 2:00-3:30 PM starting on Sun, Feb. 5:
For six straight Sundays in the Fellowship Hall, Rosemary Marlowe will be leading a book study and discussion group on the book, “Soul Reset: Breakdown, Breakthrough, and Journey Towards Wholeness,” by Junius Dotson.
If you are interested in signing up for this book study, please email Adam Benson.
We are working to procure some extra books, because we don’t want the cost of purchasing a book to be a deterrent from participating in this study. This is a much needed topic and a life-giving resource for taking care of ourselves spiritually, especially in difficult times.
