• PRAYER OF CONFESSION:
  Merciful Lord, we confess that with us there is an abundance of sin, but in you there is the fullness of righteousness and abundance of mercy. We are spiritually poor, but you are rich and in Jesus Christ came to be merciful to the poor. Strengthen our faith and trust in you. We are empty vessels that need to be filled; fill us. We are weak in faith; strengthen us. We are cold in love; warm us, and make our hearts fervent for you that our love may go out to one another and to our neighbors. Through Jesus Christ our Lord.. AMEN

2. SPIRITUAL DIRECTION GROUPS
   Are you wondering how God is working in your life? Or perhaps you’re experiencing a sense of “desert dryness” in your relationship with Jesus. What might the Lord be prompting for you? Understanding that God is active in every facet of our lives, Spiritual Direction is a companion relationship between two people in which one listens to the other, and to the Holy Spirit, as the other seeks to discover how God is present and active in their life.
   Group Spiritual Direction maintains the same sense of listening to others and the Holy Spirit as one person shares with the group (often answering a question or prompt posed to the group). The others in the group respond to the person as the Lord brings images, or a word, or scripture to mind, speaking into what the person shared. This provides a Christ-centered community, aiding each person involved in honing their listening skills with “spiritual ears,” while also giving one a “taste” of what spiritual direction in a one-on-one setting may be like.
   We will be offering opportunities for you to engage in group direction during the Lenten Season as a means of growing in your relationship with Jesus and with one another, as we journey together through the “wilderness” of Lent. You may sign up HERE. Dates and Times are listed on the sign up sheet.
   For more information, please contact Dan Palomino on Slack or by email (dancpal@gmail.com).
