Faith Formation Opportunities for Fall 2024

Now What? session is the one hour conversation space hosted by Sylvia, right after the service.

Based upon the themes shared that morning in the sermon, this Q&R time allows for further discussion

to help us think deeply about how we can become people who obey our Lord & Savior, Jesus the Christ naturally.

1 Timothy 4:7-8 offers us a framework stating, "...train yourself to be godly. For physical training is of some value,

but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.

The next two Now What? sessions will be held on October 13th and 20th.

Lectio Divina - a meditative way to read Scripture

We are resuming this weekly offering beginning October 1 @ 12:30 pm. This is a 30-minute, via zoom,

thoughtful, meditative, slow, community-based way to engage Scripture. Our focus is not so much

consumption of a Scripture passage as it is to listen deeply to what God is saying to us through a

particular passage of Scripture.

We have spent the past three years in this practice using almost exclusively the Psalms.

This year, we will expand to stories about Jesus and His parables as found in the gospels.

Contact Sylvia or the church office for the zoom link.

Spiritual direction is a offering Sylvia is certified to bring to our congregation.

This is a 1-hour, 1x-a-month, meeting where the aim is to listen deeply to God & your own life.

The real director is the Holy Spirit, yet my job is to listen, ask questions and invite you to

notice the fingerprints of God.

These appointments can be particularly helpful when facing a big decision, responding to tragedy

or a sudden change in lifestyle or upon recognizing a desire to move more intentionally into

your friendship with God.

If I can help in any way, do not hesitate to reach out. This is such a delightful

hour to share with one another. I have had a spiritual director appointment each month for four

years now and it is an incredible gift to my own growth.

Walks & talks, meals and shared prayer are always connections awaiting for you.

Please don't hesitate to reach out via email (sylvia@fridayharborpres.org) or call (360-378-4544)

to make an appointment.
