Rhythms of Grace workshop – facilitated by Christine Sine
“Walk with me & work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me & you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.” (Matt 11:29 & 30, the Message)
Do you have a hard time sifting through the busyness of your life in order to connect to God? For Christians life should not be about filling our schedules 24/7 or checking off “to-do” lists. It is meant to be about connecting to God and to the rhythm of life that God intends for us. God’s rhythm embraces all the good things of life including prayer, Bible study, the creative activity of work, the joy of relationships and the soothing relaxation of rest. Make space for God and discover the Christ-like pace that liberates you from a culture enslaved by time.
This day long seminar explores the rhythms that Jesus lived by which enabled him to prioritize his use of time and resources. We will discuss how to infiltrate these rhythms into the fabric of our lives today and encourage participants to develop an everyday lifestyle that flows directly from our Biblical faith.
During our time together we will:
- Reflect on our spiritual journeys and identify when and how God has guided us throughout our lives
- Explore the rhythms that Jesus lived by and discuss how these enabled him to prioritize his use of time and resources.
- Identify the restorative rhythms of grace that provide structure and stability for our lives
- Identify the transformative rhythms of grace that grow our faith and enrich our lives.
- Lunch Included. Free copy of Sacred Rhythm by Christine Sine
