How’s your soul these days? Weary? Deflated? Confused? With the Fall ministry season beginning again, so many leaders across the country have shared their minds are restless, hearts are depleted, and their bodies are tired…or, they feel it lurking on the horizon. We need to take care of whole selves – our soul is asking that we pay attention. We want to start our next series of Learning Centre sessions from a place of soul care and rest.
Come join Christa who’ll offer us wisdom, insights and a contemplative experience to help you restore and refresh for the season ahead. You’ll gain some fresh insights, receive real-time support through a guided time of communal contemplative practice and connect with other Jesus-centered leaders.
