Sacred Circle

Sacred Circles are an important part of the Sunday morning experience. The circles provide a transition from the opening activities and is an opportunity for the children and teens to get to know each other, build community, and develop leadership skills. Using Responsibility Cards during Sacred Circle encourages children and teens to actively lead portions of the circle.
