Embrace the Sacred: Foundations of Spirituality

Desire is the sign of God’s calling you to something more in your life. Do you long to be in closer connection with God? Do you sense a yearning to broaden your life of faith? Are you seeking to integrate your faith, your spiritual life, and your everyday experiences?

This is the program for all who long to know, love and serve God more intentionally. This program will assist you to respond to your heart’s longings in the context of a supportive community. Come and participate in purposeful Spiritual exploration that nurtures your desire for greater union with God. Open yourself to spiritual practices and knowledge for a deeper spiritual life that will motivate and sustain you in your relationships, daily life, and in transforming work into ministry.

Below are the titles for each session, which take place the third Saturday of the month, 9 AM - noon.
