Proposal for sermon response.

In order to encourage and facilitate prayerful listening and reflection we will have on a website a way to respond to Sunday sermons.

To prompt reflection we will have open questions such as:

❐ What word or phrase stays in your memory from listening to the sermon?
❐ How does this connect with your experience? Past, present or future.
❐ What feelings are touched as you reflect on this?
❐ What might the living Christ be saying to you?
❐ Do you experience any change in thought, outlook, attitude, hope?
❐ Will you make any change in action?

Any of these reflections could be shared on the website as the respondent wishes. This might be one way we hear what the spirit is saying to our church.

In addition or as an alternative we would make these questions available to folks as they come to Sunday worship. They would then have a framework for listening to the sermon and a way of responding should they wish later in the day or the week.
