SUMMARY:Sacred Time: Making Space for Intergenerational Spiritual Practices
DESCRIPTION:For centuries\, spiritual practices were lived out in the daily rhythms of monastic\nlife. But we don’t live in monasteries! Our daily rhythms look much different in\nChicagoland in 2025; therefore\, we require spiritual practices that fit our current\ncontext. \nJoin us for a three-part introduction to shared spiritual practices designed for\nintegration in your family’s everyday as we explore practices that provide\nopportunities for us to slow down and spend time with God and each other.\nChildren\, parents and caregivers at any age and stage are encouraged to attend\nthis special class offering co-presented by Children’s Ministry and Faith\nFormation. \nLeaders: Colin McDonald and Virginia A. Lee

SUMMARY:Fasting As A Spiritual Practice
DESCRIPTION:During Lent\, many Christians fast from eating certain foods or abstain from participating in certain activities. In this class we will explore the Biblical and historical roots of fasting as we seek to understand the roots of a practice that might seem to be embraced more often in contemporary culture by fitness and nutrition experts than by Christians. We’ll thus examine fasting as a spiritual practice and ways it can be part of our spiritual formation.
