Soul Spark - the Course

A short course exploring Spirituality and spiritual growth through prayer, reflection and sharing.

This is a series of six evenings suitable for anyone wishing to explore Christian Spirituality.

The course seeks to enable this exploration and personal journeying in faith by giving time to the three key elements.

• Prayer: giving time to pray and reflect on our faith journey through a range of approaches.
   
• Reflection: This has two dimensions. The personal reflection in relation to what has happened and is happening in my life and faith, in my prayer and relationship with God. Secondly the corporate reflection on how the Christian spiritual tradition can inform and help our understanding of the personal experience.
   
• Sharing: Faith sharing, in the sense of sharing with another person something of our experiences of prayer and reflection, helps us to articulate our lived faith and so deepen our awareness of God in our lives. Done in a ‘safe place’ this can help free us to share our faith in more public places.

Thus each evening will give time for:

• prayer and reflection
• sharing in small groups
• exploring some of the key areas of Spirituality
• ideas for taking things further

The theme’s for each evening are as follows

1. Approaching Spirituality
2. Journeying with God
3. Who am I?
4. God of Grace
5. Called to Become
6. Journeying on . . .

There are no experts in this, and the sessions will encourage drawing on each participants own experience of life and faith. This is open to anyone interested in exploring their own spirituality - experienced or inexperienced - or anywhere in-between.

This course is easily transferred to different contexts and there are a number of people ready and able to run this course.
