Duties: Attend, participate in, and possibly facilitate Small Church Community
meetings. Tasks include leading opening and closing prayer, initiating and facilitating

summer and are open to all group members. Most small communities meet every
other week for about 2 hours; each group agrees upon time and frequency of the
meetings; preparation for facilitation may take an additional hour.
Special skills: Abilities to listen, pray, and share faith; to be an inviting
and welcoming presence. Training and support is offered at the by-monthly Pastoral
Facilitators’ Meeting.
