Are you looking for a deeper sense
of community and a place to explore
your spirituality—all without having
to leave your home or adjust your
schedule? CLF online covenant
groups are designed to build community
amongst people in distant locations,
providing the opportunity for
deep listening and sharing, and for
spiritual growth within a covenanted
community. These groups never
meet in person, but rather use the
internet to participate in sessions that
include an opening reading, checkin,
questions for reflection and discussion,
evaluation and a closing.
Groups often allow time for open
chatting, but are primarily designed
as a structured conversation around
topics of spiritual interest chosen by
the facilitator, with input from group
members. Participants agree to participate
fully, and to listen and respond
with respect and compassion.
Covenant group participants must be
full members of the CLF, and we ask
for a commitment of at least six
months.
To sign up, find out more about participating
in a covenant group, or to
become a covenant group leader,
please contact our minister for lifespan
learning, Lynn Ungar, at lungar@clfuu.org.
