Hello –
The meetings takes place at a time and with a technology or in a place safe and convenient for all. Each meeting begins with a brief check-in, based loosely on the Ignation examen, has series of questions presented by the leader of the group, and closes with some prayer. The leader of each group meets with the other leaders every Saturday to keep things on track.
Please go to this link to answer a few logistical questions:

Please fill out the form by the end of the day next Wednesday, the 3rd of June. Jacob, Kirsten and I will be putting together the groups based on your availability, aiming for blends of various sorts, including between our sister parishes of St. Paul’s and Nativity.
Here’s the description of the groups on the questionnaire:
In the crisis, isolation and opportunity created by the COVID19 pandemic, Nativity and St. Paul’s will convene small groups of parishioners from our two congregations to pray, reflect, lament and plan. Small groups of 4-6 people will meet weekly for six weeks to support one another in spiritual conversations about deepening our faithful commitment to Jesus’ great commandment: “love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. . . and to love your neighbor as yourself” in our new context. Each hour-long session will open with spiritual reflection, offer an opportunity to “check-in” on what is happening in our lives followed by a focused discussion about an aspect of the Great Commandment and will conclude with brief prayers for ourselves, our neighbors and our world.
As a reminder, worship is at 10am this Sunday and, as has been the case for the last few years on Pentecost, we will be celebrating the birth of the church with Nativity.
