The Gift of Encouragement: A Little Help from Our Friends
March 13, 2022 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
A 21-day program to give and receive encouragement on your spiritual journey. This program will pair congregants to exchange an encouraging text message each day for 21 days. Encouragement gives hope, confidence, and support – and is just what we need right now! By being a positive presence and encouraging one another we activate a field of possibility for everyone. Courage lives in our heart, to encourage is to live from the heart.
Description:
Unity Renaissance congregants will be invited to sign up for this program, in which they are paired with an “encouragement buddy.” This can be someone of their own choosing or someone we choose for them. It doesn’t matter if they know the person or not, and they don’t need to know the particulars of the individual’s life. Once in the program, starting March 13, participants will be asked to:
- Join us for a kickoff meeting on Zoom at 7 p.m. Sunday, March 13, at which time instructions will be provided and questions answered. Carylanne will also provide a centering meditation for the group. It will be important that everyone is willing to commit to doing this for 21 days and follow through, so no one loses their partner.
- Starting March 14, meditate for three minutes a day to center yourself in the energy of love, peace, joy, and possibilities.
- After meditating, text your encouragement buddy an encouraging word, quote, affirmation, or saying. (You will also be receiving an encouraging message from your partner.) We will provide links for people to find quotes and ideas for messages.
- Join the full group for meditations led by Carylanne at 7 p.m. on Mondays March 21 and 28 via Zoom.
- Join us for an Encouragement Celebration Lunch to close out the program after the church service on April 2.
