423 Women GROUP GUIDELINES
Confidentiality
Nothing that is said or done in the group is ever discussed with people outside the group without the permission of those involved.
Speak for Yourself
We share our own experiences, insights, and feelings. We do not offer advice unless it is welcomed. We do not analyze or try to "fix" one another. We are free to discover our own answers. We choose to let the Holy Spirit work in everyone, taking care not to lecture or preach at fellow group members.
Limit Sharing
We are considerate of the need for all to share and we limit our own sharing time accordingly.
Regular Attendance
We agree to be here every week, on time, unless there is an urgent and unavoidable scheduling conflict or genuine emergency. We will call the group leader to explain in advance when we cannot attend or must be late.
Come Prepared
We agree to complete required weekly homework and participate in small group discussion time.
Listen Respectfully
We avoid cross-talk and give each person who shares our undivided attention.
Valuing Others
We guard against offending one another. If someone offends us, or when we feel uncomfortable with anything in the group context, we commit to working it out directly with the other person(s) outside of group.
Stay on Subject
We avoid discussions and debates surrounding controversial topics and outside issues unrelated to healthy sexuality.
Support
We recognize the need to support Christ’s mission of bringing freedom to people bound by sexual addiction. We believe that by giving financially, we strengthen our own journey of recovery as well as help others move towards healthy sexuality.
