Needs and Gifts Covenant Framework

Part of Deeper Joy

Works well: when using From Many to One or the Ideation Activity.

Optional: share a list of needs (search "universal needs") and gifts (search "talents and skills for community") for members to choose from.

Framework: Our covenants are our promises to each other. One of the things that makes covenants special is that they are reciprocal. We all come into relationship with each other with both needs and gifts. Our covenants can be our commitments to use our shared gifts to help meet our collective needs.

Reflection Questions:

  1. What do you need from this group?
  2. What do you have to offer this group?
  3. Considering both our collective needs and our combined gifts, what commitments are we prepared to make to each other?
