![]() What a journey we have had over the past 12 weeks, 6 sessions, and lots of learning. Appreciate your interest and commitment to your personal Spiritual Journey and from the many comments made last night, thoughtful learnings and sharing and a desire to stay connected. What started out as an experiment turned into a lovely learning journey. I think what says it all is the consistent attendance over the 6 weeks and the deep level of sharing that occurred over Zoom!! Can you imagine if we were together in person? Also want to include the corrected reference for the book that Flo shared, ‘The Engaged Spiritual Life’ by Donald Rothberg If you wouldn’t mind responding to the attached survey with your feedback so that I can collect your thoughts and ideas, share them with Flo, Jo-Ann, and Shireen, and Michelleslie, and look for an opportunity for an in-person gathering. I know we talked a lot about possibilities last night, include those too! Flo, Jo-Ann, Shireen and Michelleslie...include your thoughts on the survey too!)
Please respond to [email protected] (Don’t hit REPLY ALL!) by FRIDAY, April 26! Thanks in advance for your thoughts... ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ Looking for your feedback regarding the sessions. Please answer honestly and feel free to include your name, or not. Since I am receiving all the surveys, I will summarize and not share individual feedback. We will use the feedback to determine future plans. Copy the questions into an email, answer, and send it to Janet! ([email protected]) 1.) What did you find most valuable? 2.) How did you find the book, ‘The Faith Club’ as a backdrop to our discussions? Would you like to use that book again, or perhaps another one that sparks discussion? (This was not intended to be a book club, going chapter by chapter, and so if another book is chosen, it would follow the same process.) 3.) What could we have done differently? 4.) Would you be interested in continuing with another series in the Fall? 5.) Would you be interested in getting together in person in the summer with the group for dinner? Please list your first and second preference if there is second preference. We may want to have two gatherings to include everyone. Probably looking at July dates. a. Tuesday evening? b. Sunday afternoon? 6.) What kind of meeting would you like to see in the future? 7.) How often would you like to meet? (Bi-weekly, Monthly, Bi-monthly, or just focus on one meeting at a time.) 8.) Other comments/thoughts/suggestions? Thanks again for taking the time to complete this survey. We’ll see where we might take this in the future. Warm Regards, Janet Janet B. Matts Office: (908) 203-9284 Cell: (908) 334-5504 [email protected] www.janetmatts.com Thank you again for our session this week on ‘Prayer’ with the Interfaith Women’s Leadership Group! Some terrific stories and ideas for what is prayer, how do we pray, and how do we pray alone and together. It was a fun session again filled with many personal stories! We are headed into our final session in the series and hope that you can all participate.
The book that Flo recommended during the session was ‘Cultivating Wise Speech,’ by Donald Rothenberger Our next session will be on Tuesday, April 16 from 7:00 – 8:30 pm and we will discuss the book as well as our spiritual journey during these six weeks. Here is the link for the Zoom call. https://us06web.zoom.us/j/88528937693?pwd=R0OtLpXIiS37GaXZ6VDZnA4JYSbF4T.1 The Reading Assignment for the next session is Chapters 16 -19 pages 248 - 293 in ‘The Faith Club.’ Please bring any questions/comments or impressions of the book as this will be our last session. Here are a few questions that might consider perhaps if you are journaling, or just to think about after Tuesday night’s session:
Your responses are part of your own journey and will allow you to personally explore your own faith and take notes to your own learning. At our last session, our discussion will focus on: Share the impact of this six week series on your Faith Journey. How will continue on your path? What have you learned about yourself during this process? We will also talk about what you liked about this process, what suggestions do you have that would make it even more impactful. And would you be interested in getting together in person or continuing perhaps in the Fall? The link to all the assignments for the Interfaith Women’s Leadership Group has been updated and contains all the information sent out on a regular basis. If you need to review assignments or other information shared, you will find it on this link. The newest one will always be on top and the older ones will be below. https://www.churchholyspirit.org/interfaith-womenrsquos-leadership-group-iwl Comments/questions/suggestions always welcome.
