“Journey to the Center: A Spiritual Formation Workshop”
The Spiritual Formation Council invites you to join them for a Saturday morning opportunity to explore and learn more about what it means to live an embodied spirituality as inspired by Christ’s example.
Together we will reflect on the questions “How can I feel connected to an extraordinary God in my ordinary life?” “What does it mean to center myself in Christ?” “Does prayer just involve my head and thoughts, or are there other ways to pray that engage the rest of me?”
This workshop led by Nancy Benson-Nicol, Associate Pastor for Caring Ministries and Spiritual Formation, will include discussion of various types of prayer, meditation, contemplation, and reflection as well as opportunity to walk the labyrinth in Buchanan Chapel.
Saturday, November 19
10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
in Buchanan Chapel and via Zoom
