This class is an eight-session primer on spiritual formation led by Pastor Svea Merry and Barb Zinser.

Two thousand years ago, Jesus said to his disciples, “follow me.” But what does it mean for us to follow Jesus today?

The Practicing the Way Course is an on ramp to spiritual formation, exploring what it means to follow Jesus and live a life of apprenticeship to him.

The class will enjoy teachings by John Mark Comer and other voices about apprenticing under Jesus, spiritual formation, healing from sin, meeting God in pain, crafting a Rule of Life, living in community, and more.

We’ll have the opportunity to develop friendships as we enjoy great conversation about what we’re learning. We’ll process our experiences through the weekly practices and exercises that will help integrate what we’re learning.

There is no cost to attend the class. We’ll provide a detailed workbook with exercises, space to write and reflect, and suggestions for supplemental resources for you on the first day. Meets in the Middle School (Upper) Room at 9am.

This class is an eight-session class on spiritual formation for young adults in their twenties and thirties. Both marrieds and singles are welcome, but we are not able to accommodate children. (Childcare is available during the Sunday morning class.)
