Reflection 1 – Family
1. What place feels most like home? What do you love about it?
2. What’s your favorite family tradition? Or, what’s a tradition you want to start and pass along to those you love?
3. If you could go back in time and teach your younger self one lesson, what would it be?
4. Share a memory related to food—a family recipe, a baking ritual, or a time of breaking bread with loved ones.
5. What is a hope you have for yourself in the coming year? For your family? For the church? For this city/town?

Reflection 2 – Faith
1. How did you get connected to this faith community? What is one of your favorite memories here?
2. We often talk about “mountain top” experiences in our faith—places where God feels close. Where is a place that you have felt close to God? What was holy about it?
3. Share a key moment in your faith journey. How did that moment shape what you believe today?
4. Who is someone who has been influential in your faith? What impact did they have?
5. What is something you have learned about your faith in the past year?

Reflection 3 – Feelings
1. What is one thing that the pandemic brought into your life that you would like to keep or hold onto?
2. Share a story of a time when you felt the most like yourself.
3. What brings you joy these days?
4. What weighs heavy on you, or causes you grief?
5. What is your first memory of grief? What have you learned from your grief?
