Prospectus for Spiritual Formation Classes
Requirements: The class will meet two times per month for approximately 2 hours. This class will last for 10 sessions. It is expected that each class member will attend all the classes. Each class member is expected to come prepared; having read through the assigned chapter, and having practiced the exercises and assigned disciplines. Each member is expected to spend at least 20 minutes per day reading, studying, and praying the weekly assignments.
Text: We will be using The Good and Beautiful God written by James Bryan Smith.
The Goal: The three-fold goal each week is to:
+ Examine our false beliefs and theology
+ Replace these false beliefs with Biblical truth
+ Make these new truths part of our lives through the practice of spiritual disciplines
The Method: Each week the class will be broken down into three parts:
+ A time of sharing what God is doing in your life
+ A lecture on the chapter and some “how to tips” for practicing the spiritual disciplines
+ A time for questions
Classes:
Classes are now in session. You can come and join at any time. The current sessions are now being held:
+ The first and third Wednesday evenings of the month from 7-9pm.
+ The first and third Thursday mornings of the month from 10am - noon.+ New classes will be formed if 3 to 5 people have an interest to form a group. Please contact Pastor John to if you want start another group. New sessions can be held during the day or evening depending on the needs of the participants.
+ If you miss a class, you have the possibility of making it up in the other session since the classes will be running concurrently and covering the same material.
