Title: Forming Our Faith, Shaping a People, and Sustaining Our Mission

Growing our spiritual life is an individual and communal practice. It is a deeply personal experience in which we strive to enrich and deepen our self-understanding. But spiritual growth is not only a personal endeavor; it also has a communal dimension.

Our internal work equips us to engage with others and in the world fueled by the lessons of compassion, self-love, and ethical clarity we gain in our spiritual journey.

In this workshop, we will explore how cultivating spiritual growth calls us into action. We will reflect on how our spiritual lives connect to areas of membership engagement, stewardship, and community outreach.
