"BREAKING OPEN THE WORD" Resource from the Pastoral Center
Spend some time with our online resource from the Pastoral Center and discover the riches of God’s word to us. We will be posting this resource weekly to guide you with a simple yet powerful process for leading small group reflection on the Sunday Lectionary readings. These Breaking Open the Word sessions focus on a single reading each week, with insightful daily life commentary and related discussion questions.
Ann Naffziger brings her decades of experience in small group facilitation and spiritual direction into this resource centered on conversion and discipleship.
A two-page handout is provided for each week, which includes:- Opening and closing prayers
- Clear leader instructions
- Background information on one core lectionary reading
- A brief reflection on the reading to connect it to everyday experiences and focus the discussion
- Three discussion questions
- A beautiful illustration from Jean Denton
