SGM Discussion Group Revitalized
The Small Group Ministry Discussion Group is the list serve from the Unitarian Universalist Association web site, listed there as Covenant_Group_Ministry. This list provides an opportunity for congregations that are interested in or engaged in Covenant Group or Small Group Ministry to share experiences, questions, comments, problems, innovations, and insight. Small Group Ministries are an important part of the life of many of our religious communities.
Through Small Group Ministries, participants establish new and deeper connections with one another and find a place for religious exploration and spiritual growth. At the same time, Small Group or Covenant Group Ministries are connected with one another, with the life of the whole congregation, and with a larger vision of ourselves as religious liberals, as Unitarian Universalists, with a mission of service to each other and to the larger communities in which our congregations exist.
Click here to join the over 300 subscribers. Subscriptions are free.
Periodically, discussions on the list may be compiled for publication in the Covenant Group News or the Quarterly. Subscribers will be notified and give permission for this information to be used in this way. There is such wisdom and wondering that can be shared! We look forward to hearing from you.
