New Class: Practicing the Presence of God
Second Sunday of the month at 9:30am
February 9, March 8, April 5 (Palm Sunday), May 3
The Practices that Draw You Closer to God
Join us on the second Sunday of the month at 9:30am as we explore different practices designed to help us experience the presence of God in new and deeper ways. These practices have been used for centuries by Christians to grow closer to God, and to be transformed into the likeness of Christ.
Some of these practices, such as reading the Bible and praying, are very well-known to us, while others, such as lectio divina or examen may be less familiar. The class will meet monthly and there will be weekly reminders to experience the grace of that particular spiritual practice.
If your soul is thirsty, if life seems overwhelming, if you are searching for something deeper, come join us!
