Provide an open space for your invited guests to respond to the stories, wisdom, and emotion shared in the worship service. Invite participants to sit in silence and take in the responses. If invited guests need prompting, use these or similar questions:

• What ideas or questions did the worship service generate for you?
• How can you imagine the wisdom and spirit of what you have heard being woven into the life of our congregation and community?
• Would you like to have this experience for yourself?

If there is time after guests have responded, invite workshop participants to offer comments and observations of their own.
