The Rector's Forum:
Spiritual Practices: Developing a Rule of Life
Meets in the Parish Hall at 9:00
God calls all of us to various vocations. Vocations happen when the needs of our communities align with our own spiritual gifts, practices, and passions. And yet in the midst of all of life’s demands, it can be challenging finding intentionality, stability, and direction in living out our vocations. Living by a Rule of Life is an ancient Christian practice which helps integrate life’s demands with the vocations to which God is calling us. In October Fr. Derek Larson will share with us more about how to build and live by a Rule of Life through the lens of his own vocation as a Franciscan tertiary in the Third Order, Society of St. Francis.
