Join us for a special four-week Spiritual Formation Colloquium that begins Wednesday, Feb. 17, and meets each Wednesday after that through March 9 (Feb. 17, Feb. 24, March 2 and March 9). We’ll gather in Stevens 109 from 10 to 11 a.m. each week, and our facilitator will be Kathy Noling, former associate campus pastor at Westmont College. You can sign up here.
The Christian faith is meant to be passionate, hopeful and creative, but sometimes we get stuck in tedious patterns when approaching God that keep us from experiencing the rich and fulfilling relationship that He intends. Such patterns ultimately can lead us away from God.
In this colloquium, we will introduce some spiritual practices that will help you be quiet, expectant and receptive to the Holy Spirit’s voice.
Note: You’ll receive five Chapel Elective Credits for attending all four colloquium sessions.
