Upcoming Disciple Formation Experiences
Fasting
Fasting is one of the most essential and powerful of all the practices of Jesus and, arguably, the single most neglected one in the modern, Western church. The Fasting Practice will train you in this ancient discipline, integrating your whole body into life with God.
When: Part 1 March 9; Part 2 April 6; 11:00 am until noon (immediately following the morning service).
Between Part 1 and Part 2, each participate will have a resource guide that provides practical instruction, questions to process, and activities to be done with others or individually. Part 2 will provide the opportunity to process what has been experienced.
Solitude
In an increasingly distracted and noisy world, we need solitude more than ever. The practice of solitude mimics Jesus’ rhythm of retreat and return: retreat from people and distractions to be with God, in order to return to community in love and service.
When: Part 1 May 4 Part 2 June 8; 11:00 am until noon (immediately following the morning service).
Between Part 1 and Part 2, each participate will have a resource guide that provides practical instruction, questions to process, and activities to be done with others or individually. Part 2 will provide the opportunity to process what has been experienced.
What are they?
- Formation experiences provide the opportunity to focus on a specific aspect of our journey with Jesus- “walk with Him, become like Him, join in what He is doing.”
- Each formation experience is interactive, inspirational, and intensive. The group time provides teaching and hands on application.
- All the tracks complement each other- you can jump in anytime you can. There will be 10-12 different formation experiences over a three year cycle.
