Backyard to the Universe
Small Group Ministries
Opening: Gifts are not a prerequisite for effective teaching, but the gifts we already possess are sanctioned as channels for the Spirit of Life.
Check-in: How are things going for you today?
Topic/Activity:
Identify at least 5 gifts that you bring to teaching.
Share a time when your gifts contributed to the religious growth or spiritual development of another person.
What gifts are evident in the group that you are teaching?
How do we uncover and enhance the gifts of others?
Closing:
We have what is needed when we teach!
Tell the stories of reconciling love.
See into the mystery of life, the sacred work in the common routine.
Allow the spirit of creativity and openness flow through you.
When we teach, we share our gifts, and thereby honor the gifts of others.
