SMALL GROUP MINISTRY GROUPS
Meaningful Sharing Discussion Group
Meets the 2nd Tuesday of each month. Our group strives to listen deeply to each other and to reach beyond the shallow to gain an appreciation of each other's perspective in a non-confrontational manner. For more information, contact Barbara Graham at 813-778-6976.
Internet Café
Come explore the internet with Bud Clough and Grantford Wilson who are seeking companions to share an hour or two each week, afternoon or evening, at Martha Robinson’s house, investigating what’s really available to the general public in the way of timely and expert opinions on the issues of
the day. We hope to establish a Small Group Ministry dedicated to excellence in its quest to improve our understanding of the modern, material, social and spiritual environments we find ourselves in. We intend to begin by utilizing the
resources of TED, Renascence 2.0, and EDGE. We then plan to modify our approach to meet the needs and desires of the group. If you are interested in joining this group, give your contact information to Bud.
Journey
“Wherever you are is the entry point,” Kabir wrote in the 15th century. Let’s meet in covenant group to create a safe, supportive place to explore, deepen, and expand our creative imaginations. All levels, beginning through advanced
visual, performing and literary artists are welcome. We will utilize a variety of interactive exercises and meditations to focus our attention on the creative process as a spiritual practice. If you are interested or have questions, call Robin Leigh at 813 571-1366 or email leigh520jr@yahoo.com.
Meditation and Inquisitive Dialogue
