Goals of this Ministry
Participants will:
- Connect experientially through Christian practices to the work
of God in their lives, - Enjoy confidential and nurturing space to discover and explore
hopes, ideas, questions and concerns, - Connect with other pastors to develop community in which to be
authentic and find support, - Experience rest and spiritual refreshment,
5. Discern new possibilities in ministry and life and the changes
this may require, - Discover sustaining spiritual practices and gain sufficient
practice in one or two practices so they become habits and
commitments.
Cost: The Presbytery of San Francisco, in support of you and your ministry, covers the costs. Should you choose to include individual spiritual direction sessions, you are asked to pay a portion of the expense.
