Mentoring!After each six week course, participants
meet in small groups with experienced guides to deepen the learning of the past weeks using Theological Reflection.
Theological Reflection is a method of searching for God’s will in all the events of life. It helps to make connections between faith and life in light of scripture and church teaching which leads to action.
As part of the mentor sessions, participants ponder the Sunday scripture readings, and have an opportunity to faith share with the group.
