Small Faith Sharing Group Overview

Purpose:
The Small Faith Sharing Group is designed to assist us in spiritual growth.  When we share our faith with others we grow in community and find that our feelings of being 'different' or isolated diminish.

Each person is given the opportunity to express feelings and thoughts, examined in the light of our rich tradition.  Being accepted and listened to are essential ingredients of a good faith - and life sharing - experience.  A sense of humor is also very helpful!

Size:
Small Faith Sharing Groups typically consist of 5 to 10 people including a leader/facilitator.

Location:
Small Faith Sharing Groups meet in the comfort and warmth of a home,  usually that of the leader or another member of the group.

Time:
90 minutes.
