Summer 2025 SGM Session Suggestions
As usual, there are no new sessions for the summer beginning June 15 until September. This is an opportunity for your group to pursue an interest or activity that is individual to your group. Some suggestions in addition to the list of sessions below:
- Repeat a session which you felt there was more to explore in that topic
- Plan an outing/social get-to-gether
- Do a service project in the world or for the church
The content team reviewed past sessions and created these sessions that would fit various summer moods. If your group continues to meet regularly, you will have 5 spaces to fill. Below are links to the sessions and a few words to give you a clue as to what they are about.

There are places that seem to have a spirit that can reach out and touch a spirit within us. These places may be of a quiet or meditative nature, such as a church, a library, or a garden. They may be places that are more boisterous or chaotic, like a sports arena, a train station, or a crashing waterfall. Either way, it is important and often vital that we connect with these spirits, for they give us insight and help to make us whole. - G144 – Movies and Meaning
