Backyard to the Universe
Small Group Ministries
Opening:
We have been called to minister through teaching!
Some of us we felt spiritually led to teach.
Some of us were recruited to fill a need - and we accepted!
Some of us volunteered when we saw a place to contribute.
Some of us stumbled into teaching.
Some of us feel responsible to the community.
The call to teach comes in various ways – we are here because we have answered the call! Welcome.
Check-in: How are you today?
Topic/Activity:
How and why did you become a teacher (assistant) in a Unitarian Universalist religious education program?
When did you begin – 'officially' or informally?
What difference does it make to think of yourself as being 'called' to teach?
How can teaching deepen your spiritual development?
Closing words:
The response to the invitation to teach becomes an expression of commitment to the continuation of our faith tradition.
Likes and Wishes: How did the session go for you?
