SPIRITUAL REFLECTION SERVICE
Spiritual Reflection Time will be part of the weekly schedule. . Residents will share in leading
these services, which should last about 15-20 minutes. This is an opportunity to be experimental
and often to bring to reflection some of the events, topics, etc., that surfaced during the week
INTERPERSONAL RELATIONS GROUP (IPR):
Regular Interpersonal Relationships Groups will be held each week. The focus of these sessions
is the immediate and interpersonal interactions of the group members. This is an opportunity
to build and observe group communication. This group can help you understand something of
the way in which you and other people initiate and develop personal relationships. It is an
opportunity for you to offer and to receive ministry from each other in a community of mutual
trust.
