Spirituality?

1:16-20), poetry, environment, anything that contributes to the
spirit of the meeting. (4-5 minutes)
v
Check-in:
How am I feeling as I begin
this meeting? (10 minutes total)
v
Theme
(read aloud): Everyone has a
unique relationship with the Divine. This relationship is one’s
spirituality. Some experience the All Holy as transcendent, in
prayer. Others experience God as immanent, within themselves, in
people, in nature. Spirituality is an intensely personal matter.
It embraces the Truth we see within every event we encounter,
whether it be pleasant or difficult. Spirituality embraces the
Divine in life as we live it. Spirituality is living the mystery.

I describe my spirituality? Where does it happen for me? church?
family? work and social life? Where do I feel strong? Where weak?
