Are you seeking an additional way of being present with our Beloved Community?  Covenant Groups may provide the opportunity you are looking for!

Covenant Groups Nurture Meaningful Connections

What are Covenant Groups?  Small groups of eight to ten people who meet for two hours, either once or twice a month, in person or on zoom, from September through June. Creating a sacred space, exploring our monthly themes, listening and talking together are all a part of Covenant Groups.  Each person is given uninterrupted time to share stories and find meaning from their own experiences. Trained, experienced facilitators are a part of every group meeting.

Why should I join a Covenant Group?  During our time together, we focus our attention away from the cares of the present, leave the past behind, and let the future wait a couple of hours.  We practice “radical hospitality” by deeply listening to one another without interruption, judgment, or advice.

When we listen deeply, we honor the personal journeys of our “fellow travelers.”

When we speak, we are empowered to be vulnerable, to open our hearts, and to share our personal story.

In accordance with the Congregation and Group Covenants, our “fellow travelers” listen with anticipation and appreciation. Our personal stories are held in confidence by the group.

Talking and listening together about our interests and passions helps us connect to others, embrace new ideas, and strengthen our Beloved Community.

Who can join?  All are welcome in Covenant Group! Newcomers, long-time members and everyone in between benefit from these small groups. It’s a great way to build connections within our beloved community as people engage in deep and meaningful conversations based on our monthly themes.
