Worship Sharing is an opportunity for small groups to deepen their understanding of life in the Spirit and get to know each other on a deeper level through listening to each others experiences and insights in a worship-grounded setting.
In Worship Sharing Friends share their responses to a query that provides a focus for the group. They listen deeply to what is shared without discussion. Worship Sharing may last an hour, or less, depending in part on the size of the group.
Before the session, the convener (or the committee) decides on the topic or issue for the group to address. They write a query for the group to focus on, adding, perhaps, a few short quotes for inspiration. The convener hands out copies of the queries, quotes, and the “guidelines for Worship Sharing”.
The session begins with Friends being seated. Sheets are handed out with the guidelines on one side and queries on the other. The group reads the guidelines aloud then enters into worship and contemplation of the queries. Each participant may share their response to the queries with the group, speaking from the silence when moved. The convener facilitates the group, seeing that all have the opportunity to speak if they wish and closes the worship.
