Before our summer break, I asked the women in Sacred Stories (what we call Circle of the Word in jail) to complete a survey form for feedback on the class. This was in mid-April, at the conclusion of our Lenten-Easter series, “Journey to Resurrection: Stories from Mark 14-16.” The following are anonymous responses by the 12 women in class that day…

Here is what I would tell others about this class:

• A very beautiful class that helps teach us more about the Word of God.
• We break down parts of stories of the Bible to understand them better.
• The ladies are very serious and they know how to help you learn and remember the stories.
• What I tell others is: “Nothing but good”
• It’s very nice and easy-flowing. I like how it makes it simpler to understand.”
• It’s a great class; others need to come.
• Definitely would go. It’s a good class.
• To really just participate and listen. There is many resources and things to learn Amelia is a wonderful Lady and I appreciate her and this class.
• The story, the love and care Amelia has for us girls. The love she shows and how she reminds me, myself, to Keep moving, be positive, be positive, God is with us Always!
• It’s a good class. It teaches a lot about God. You take it step-by-step and I like that you break it down to understand.”
• It opens your mind and heart to Jesus.
• I truly appreciate you coming and spending time with us today.

As you can tell from this feedback, Sacred Stories, and those of us who lead it, are very much appreciated. Not only do we receive heartfelt appreciation, but also the gift of their insights, perspectives, and faith.
