Here I am, send me: What we have seen and heard
BEFORE YOU BEGIN: We strongly suggest that you review all of your Individual Reflections for each session. Take time to read all of the following questions before you begin. You may find it helpful to use newsprint as a means of capturing the group’s brainstorming in response to questions 1, 3, and 4.
We suggest that you begin this session with a time of silence and prayer. The following prayer for guidance is from The Book of Common Prayer, p.832.
Direct us, O Lord, in all our doings with your most gracious favor, and further us with your continual help; that in all our works begun, continued, and ended in you, we may glorify your holy Name, and finally, by your mercy, obtain everlasting life; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
