When I offered to facilitate a Small Group Ministry for folks with chronic and life-threatening illness,
I discovered that SGM's are not set up around topics, nor do the participants choose which group to attend.
Since my proposal didn't fit within the SGM, but still seemed appropriate within the ministry,
it was listed as an Adult Religious Education class.
Our minister, Chris Buice, recommended that I do a
forum on the topic to generate interest.
Well, this frightened me to no end, but with the patient support and assistance of Judy Ann Langston,
I worked through my fears, and presented the forum
(description here)
and went on to facilitate 8 group meetings, to start . . .
With apologies to the Small Group Ministry, with whose format we began, only to adapt it to our needs...
here are the (Word 6 document) outlines of the small group meetings in which we began to Dance With Our Shadows.
