How Has Your Faith Impacted Your Life?
Sharing Faith dinners invite people to gather around a meal and participate in life together. At each dinner, a moderator will prompt participants to share stories of their faith journey with printed questions. Sharing Faith provides a welcoming and safe way to engage one another, articulate our faith and build relationships.
About
Sharing Faith is designed for groups of 8-12 people who share a meal, get to know one another and share stories of faith through engaging questions.
The process of sharing stories helps to deepen our own personal faith. Hearing others’ stories of God’s presence in their life brings us into deeper relationship with each other and with God.
