LOVE GOD: HEART, SOUL, BODY, AND MIND: FEBRUARY 21
This 5-hour workshop is offered on a Saturday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. with lunch provided for a fee. The morning is given over to familiarizing yourself with Corrine Ware’s Four Quadrants of Spirituality, doing an inventory to determine in which quadrants you are naturally open to receiving and responding to God, and those in which you are currently closed and in need of growth. Using this information, you will be given the opportunity to prepare a growth plan which best brings you into loving God with all your heart, and all your soul, and all your strength, and all your mind. The afternoon provides an opportunity to learn various contemplative prayer types that encourage growth in each quadrant. Click here to register.

SPRING SCHOOL OF SPIRITUAL FORMATION OFFERING: FOLLOW ME
As this spring’s School of Spiritual Formation course, Martha Newman and Carol Toombs will identify ten life disciplines Jesus lived by – disciplines such as discernment, surrender, simplicity, hospitality, justice, and reconciliation. In so doing, they will borrow the wisdom of modern spiritual thinkers to flesh out what is meant by each of these and to learn how we can best incorporate these disciplines into our own lives. Follow Me will meet from 2-4 p.m. on Sundays March 15 through May 31 (no meeting Easter Sunday, April 5) in Room 238. This two-hour time frame will better allow for the deep, transformative learning we hope for to take place. To learn more about upcoming Spiritual Formation offerings or register for this course, visit fpcfw.org/spiritualformation.
