Open and Affirming group to meet Feb. 3
Posted in Zion UCC News on January 25, 2011|
Our first step to the ONA process will be to organize an ONA Discussion Group. This group will study ONA materials together, talk about issues that arise for each member of the group, and think about ONA as it relates to Zion. This is not a decision-making group. It is restricted to discussion, information-gathering, prayer, the sharing of feelings, and personal reflection. Please join this group if you are:
- wildly in favor of ONA
- adamantly against ONA
- have no real opinion
- love the seek and question process
- enjoy good conversation with people who are friends
Everyone has a voice in the process—come and let yours be heard! Our first discussion will be 6 p.m. Feb. 3 in the narthex.
