Small Group Ministry
Discover why over 160 members and friends of Main Line Unitarian Church have been attending Small Group Ministry. Meet new people. Grow spiritually. Learn about yourself and others. Small Group Ministry is designed to encourage spiritual and personal growth and to help develop relationships of substance and depth.
Small Group Ministry invites people into deeper, more constant and reverent relationships. It has the capacity to profoundly transform and strengthen our lives. Through listening and sharing, Small Group Ministry helps each person discover what they truly value. Small Group Ministry is open to anyone who wishes to participate. Groups of about 10 people gather twice each month, at the church or in private residences. Trained facilitators, who meet regularly with the associate minister, guide the groups.

NEW! Introduction to Small Group Ministry
Format
      |
The format includes an opening reading, followed by sharing and discussion of a subject related to personal and spiritual development. Sometimes the topic is tied into the Sunday sermon. After a time for feedback, the group closes with a final reading. Sessions last about two hours.
Goals
- To encourage personal connections and a caring community that fosters our sense of the larger meaning of life.
- To reflect upon the mysteries of our world and spiritual paths.
- To develop one’s capacity for deep listening and reflecting.
- To support each other in becoming our best selves and in growing into our Unitarian Universalist values.
