HOLY LISTENING - A Group for Women (every other Monday, online)

"When we squeeze every margin to the max, we are left with less time and space to respond to the invitations from God. We want to enjoy life, but ironically our many yeses to invitations keep us stressed, drained and inattentive to the divine invitations that bring real freedom and belonging." - Adele Calhoun

Is God inviting you to sit with Him and have some undistracted time to listen to His voice through His word? Is He offering you some space and time to share your heart with Him? If so, we'd love for you to join us for a Holy Listening Group where we will have both time alone with God and an opportunity to share with others who also desire to know and understand the heart of God.

What is the purpose of the group? To foster intimacy with God; to practice the spiritual discipline of “showing up” to be with God and others who also want to deepen their intimacy with God; to seek wisdom and discernment through stillness, silence, and listening; to have our hearts and minds transformed by the Holy Spirit; and to experience freedom by opening our hearts to God and each other.

What is the format? Each session will include time for silence, meditating on a passage of scripture alone with God, and then group interaction about the passage. The online platform will be Zoom. The size is limited to eight participants.

What is the cost and when will the group meet? The cost is $50 for seven sessions. The group will meet online every other Monday morning from 8:30 to 9:45 am. The dates are 1/27, 2/10, 2/24, 3/10, 3/24, 4/7 and 4/21.

Who will be the facilitator? The group will be led by Susan Cromer, COMPASS Director of Ministry and Spiritual Director. She has experience serving and leading with various ministries and churches. She completed her spiritual direction training through Sustainable Faith. If you have questions before the group meets, you can contact Susan at [email protected].
