Activity time: 5 minutes

Materials for Activity

  • Newsprint, markers, and tape
  • Newsprint with definition(s) of a miracle generated by the group in previous sessions

Preparation for Activity

  • Post the definition(s) of a miracle generated by the group in previous sessions.
  • Prepare to share, in a phrase or sentence, a “miracle moment” of your own.

Description of Activity

Invite everyone to share a “miracle moment.” Explain briefly that you mean a time when they paid attention to something unexpected, awesome and perhaps unexplained. To start things off, you can share a recent miracle moment of your own. You may wish to remind the group:

  • Everyone’s ideas and experiences of miracles may be different.
  • Participants may “pass.” Sharing a miracle is not required.
