Support and Care

 

Spiritual formation is the work of the Holy Spirit within, transforming us, helping us to become more Christlike and to live as God created us to live. Our part is to welcome the Spirit of God into our lives and to open ourselves to the journey of life with God’s Spirit in community with other believers. The focus is on our experience of God and our discovery of spiritual practices that help us share more fully in the life of Christ.  It is a heart connection/experience with God through spiritual practices. These practices open us to growth of the fruits of the Spirit that are evidenced in our service and the generous offering of our God-given gifts, talents, and resources.
