We open with prayer . If someone other than the facilitator wishes to say the prayer, they are most welcome to do so. We then quickly recall what was covered the week before, are given a bit of background information on the section we are about to read, and then read that section. The facilitator has researched that section beforehand and she, along with a few others who have done the same, becomes a resource person to answer any questions arising. She also prepares a list of questions with which to guide the discussion.
Every member brings a different insight to what has been read.
It is truly wonderful to see this happening, because it reflects a high degree of trust and comfort among the group members. We close with prayer and, when Alice Foster is with us, we are then treated to the story around a favourite hymn . We also have guest speakers . We have had a visit from Mrs. Winnie Postma who volunteers, along with her husband, for Canadian Food for Children. We donated money to this mission and continue to collect clean, used prescription bottles for her.
