Spirit Expressing - Loving Life
August 29 - October 10, 2010 | Sign-up August 1 - 29
Each fall First Unity friends come together for Spirit Expressing, a seven-week program of spiritual self discovery, with an emphasis on growth in awareness, involvement, and commitment. It includes Sunday messages and weekly prayer/study groups. You are invited to join together with a small group of your choice, discussing the same spiritual ideas presented on Sundays during those seven weeks.
What will we do during Spirit Expressing?
Each week we will discuss a new topic on this year’s theme “Loving Life. A Journey of Gratitude & Being.” You will use your workbook to guide you through many exercises and processes throughout the program. You may participate as a host or facilitator of a group or pick a group to join.
Where do I get the workbook?
Workbooks will be given to facilitators at the facilitator training Thursday, August 12. For individuals who choose not to join a home study group, workbooks will be available after Sunday services beginning Sunday, August 29 (while supplies last and available for download online)
How do I sign up?
Home study groups (8–10 people) offer the opportunity for a more in-depth study of the concepts presented each Sunday. These groups provide a safe space in which to explore and practice God’s activity on a personal level. Each group study is led by a facilitator who assists the group in reviewing and exploring the central topics and themes. You may sign up August 1-29 for a group located near you by visiting the sign-up table in Friendship Hall.
What are Facilitators and Hosts?
A facilitator is someone who assists the home study group in reviewing and exploring the central topics and themes. The facilitator establishes an environment that is conducive to discussion and learning, while keeping the group focused on its purpose. Beyond that, the facilitator is just another member of the group. Hosts hold groups in their homes, and groups are held in many locations throughout Tampa Bay, and at a variety of times and days of the week. Sign-up to be a host or facilitator July 25 in Friendship Hall.
