Spiritual Practices - Southridge Community Church

Praying that if it is God's will that I can be placed at a hospital in my home town for my next practicum coming in May, as well that it can be during the weekdays and not on a weekend. This will help to reduce a lot of stress, allow me to still work during the weekends, and save money, which I don't have a lot of right now. I pray all of this in Jesus's mighty name and know that with him anything is possible and worthy of bringing to him.

During this Christmas and New Year season, we invite you to explore a fantastic spiritual practice resource that many in our community have been finding a game-changer in their own spiritual lives.

Each morning:

Engage in a creative 8-10 minute guided practice of scripture contemplation, personal reflection, and prayer.

Each evening:

Engage in another guided practice in the Prayer of Examen, contemplation, and preparation for rest.

We highly encourage you to give it a try for these two weeks, and just see what it does for your heart, mind, body, and spirit!

Tactile Prayer | Autumn Leaves

Autumn is absolutely incredible in all of its colourful splendor. But of course, those colours are actually a signal that we are headed for the dead cold of winter. As the season changes, this is the time of year, as someone has said, when the trees are showing us just how beautiful it can be to let dead things go.

Bible Study

resources:

Journaling the Bible | Micah 6:6-8

What we’re wanting to do here is to shake up both over-familiarity (for those who have been reading the Bible for a long time) that can sometimes cause the Bible to feel stale, as well as to think more deeply about what some of the ancient words and metaphors really mean, and what they might look and sound like in our present day context.

Reflection

resources:

Examen | Church History

Examen is a practice of examining your life backwards, over a given period of time, and prayerfully reflecting on two things: 1) Where you noticed a sense of God’s presence, or closeness; and 2) Where you felt absent or disconnected from that sense.
