Spiritual Practices Workshop: Scripture, Prayer, and Reflection

Tuesday, December 3 | 1p - 3p (EST) | Online via Zoom


WHO IT’S FOR
Anyone who wants to go deeper with spiritual practices, whether you’re a pastor, leader, or congregation member

WHAT YOU’LL EXPERIENCE
Why practice the spiritual disciplines in the first place? And, what “means of grace” are most meaningful to the committed Christian today? In this workshop we will unpack the importance of our “prayer closet” and reconsider the most basic practices that lead to spiritual renewal. Each of the three, Scripture, prayer, and reflection, have ancient and timeless roots well worth our consideration. In a retreat-like format, we will introduce them for the health and vitality of your soul.

Steve Macchia, Leadership Transformations
