Others have a special social time for a half hour before the meeting. A group member is assigned to provide beverages and refreshments. This can also be a time to write letters to political leaders on pending legislation. Some people are concerned about how to make a stronger connection between living a spiritual life and doing social justice work. One way to do this is to have a brief worship experience as part of the meeting.
Some groups begin their meetings with worship.
Others end the meeting in this way. A member of the group volunteers to lead the worship. That person may read something from literature or poetry, lead singing, or guide a meditation. Such experiences provide a spiritual grounding for the actions we take in the world. It is good to send a meeting notice and a copy of the agenda in the mail before the meeting.
