- Pray out loud when called on (not every week; short, simple, from the heart)

- We are committing to keep in confidence one anothers’ stories

Each weekly session will include spiritual exploration of God at work in the world around us, spiritual accountability of God at work in us, spiritual direction from His Word and specific spiritual exercises which will help us encounter God, wait on God, speak to Him and listen to Him (committed to living out what He speaks to us)
