Small Groups
The June 2022 Visioning Retreat confirmed that the New Roots community is called to live into Jubilee through a deepening of relationships, collective action, and spiritual practice. Small Groups are an opportunity for the New Roots community to experiment in aspects of Jubilee within smaller groups, committed to journeying alongside one another through the 9 month cycle.

- Structure and Logistics
- Groups meet twice a month
- Each group will have 1-2 volunteer facilitators
- Each group will explore a question/topic/practice within their guiding theme/core practice.
- Each group will commit to showing up physically/virtually, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
- Each group will take what they are exploring and offer it back to the New Roots community or the broader community (ex. Sabbath group coordination of Sabbath Sunday or Resource Sharing Group coordinate a bi-annual resource distribution in Dorchester)
