Discussion Questions
Our Generous Response
Distribute paper and pens/pencils.
As we consider our generous response let’s consider the challenge questions Joey posed at the end of our Temple Tuesday video today. “What is one thing you are doing, or can do, to use your time, talents, treasure, or testimony to bring peace, reconciliation, or healing of the spirit in your local community?”
Take the next few minutes to consider your response and write it on your paper. Please place those in the offering tray as it comes around. Note: If you are meeting online, invite participants to share their responses in the chat (Zoom and Google Meet), or as a comment (Facebook and YouTube).
Provide meditation music while participants reflect and write responses. For in person gatherings, mid-way through meditation music send ushers out with offering tray. For online gatherings provide onscreen information for eTithing.
