Beginning Sept 15, 2011.
Companions in Christ is a 28-week Life Group that gives people an experience of various approaches to spiritual growth. This small group explores classic spiritual practices that have been used throughout the ages. Additionally, participants are invited to develop their own daily practices for deepening their relationships with God and one another.
Each week, participants read a short devotional and then are given 5 exercises to practice during the week. Participants meet together once a week to discuss their experience of God during the week and to learn new approaches to spiritual disciplines such as prayer or study.
The class consists of 5 modules, which are:
Embracing the Journey: The Way of Christ (five weeks)
An exploration of spiritual formation as a journey toward wholeness and holiness, individually and in community, through the grace of God.
Feeding on the Word: The Mind of Christ (five weeks)
An introduction to several ways of meditating and praying with scripture.
Deepening Our Prayer: The Heart of Christ (six weeks)
A guided experience of various classic forms and styles of prayer.
Responding to Our Call: The Work of Christ (five weeks)
A presentation of gifts and call, giving ourselves to God in willing obedience and receiving the fruits and
gifts of the Holy Spirit.
Exploring Spiritual Guidance: The Spirit of Christ (five weeks)
An overview of different ways of giving and receiving spiritual guidance from one-on-one relationships
with a spiritual guide, to spiritual growth groups.
