Meeting Format
Phone 1-218-862-4106, pin 32484# (faith# on your phone's keypad)
Hello and welcome. My name is_______________________. Whether you are a seasoned old-timer in your faith in Jesus or not sure how you feel about your relationship with God, we are here to love and support you.
Could I have a volunteer to read our Preamble? You can find the Meeting Format at our website: www.fulloffaith.com. *6 unmutes and mutes your phone lines.
PREAMBLE: Full of Faith is a Christian support group for food addicts in recovery. We apply Biblical principles in working the 12-steps, and we do not eat sugar, flour, sweeteners (natural or artificial), and volume one day at a time. We plan what we eat and eat what we plan. For more information about the program, go to fulloffaith.com.
PRAYER: (Ask the person assigned to open in prayer.)
At this meeting, we will focus on a tool of recovery, then we'll read ____________________. Everyone is welcomed to share their experience, strength and hope, however, we ask that you limit your shares to 2 to 3 minutes in order to give others an opportunity to share, although, if the room is quiet, feel free to share a second or third time. We refrain from mentioning specific foods by name, as it could trigger food thoughts in others, and there is no cross-talk, which is commenting on another person's share (positive or negative) or giving advice. We want everyone to feel safe and protected here in the Full of Faith family.
