Engagement Groups

As our community grows, we gain in energy, diversity, and possibility - and the singing sounds a whole lot better! At the same time, the transition from a very small congregation to a larger one means the loss of a certain intimacy where everyone knows each other rather well. Engagement groups provide a means to find that closeness in the context of a larger community and offer much more - they create safe spaces in which we can share our journeys together and offer support to one another.

What is an Engagement Group?

An Engagement Group is a group of 6-10 people who agree to meet two times each month in self-led sessions for the purposes of:

Forming deeper, more intimate relationships
Sharing spiritual struggles and growth
Deepening religious/spiritual depth
Ministering to each other
Supporting each othe
Learning from each other

What Happens During An Engagement Group Meeting

There is room for customisation as the group prefers. Typically, though, meetings include:

Opening words/ ritual, such as a chalice or candle lighting
Check-In” time for each person to share, uninterrupted, how/where they are at this time
Discussion, sharing of Unitarian-themed materials and short readings
“Check-Out” time for each person to share parting thoughts
Closing words or ritual

Engagement group session plans, including readings, opening and closing words, will be made available to groups. The group will have a member/facilitator who helps to maintain the safe, supportive environment of the group. For more detailed engagement group resources, please click here.
