Current Program
ANNOUNCING PAUSE! - Coming Soon (October 2010)
Dear Leaders,
We are happy to introduce the Spiritual Growth Campaign topic for 2010/2011: Pause. Make Space for God. In this program, participants will have an opportunity to slow down and make their spiritual lives a priority. We will explore messages from sacred scripture regarding how God communicates with us, why He created us, how He relates to us, how He works in our life, what He wants from us, how we can follow Him, and how we can serve Him and people.
We are developing a workbook which will be the basis for this campaign. It includes a Bible story every week that we recommend leaders feature in Sunday worship and Children's Program material. The workbook also includes daily readings from the Old Testament, New Testament, and the Writings of Emanuel Swedenborg on the weekly topics.
This program provides a structure to support church health and growth as well as healthy habits of individuals: daily reading, participating in a small group, and attending worship. Through this program, we hope to offer new ways for an individual to continue to explore God’s Word, follow His teachings, and find support from community.
We appreciate your patience, as this program is a work in progress. We want to take time to share with you some additional information about the program. In the attachment is a brief description of the content, a more detailed review of each week’s emphasis, and answers to questions that may arise regarding the logistics of implementing this program.
As always, we invite you to contact us directly with any questions or comments. We look forward to working with you.
With gratitude,
Spiritual Growth Campaign Planning Staff
