Sharing the Spiritual Formation
Journey
Living
Waters House is excited to welcome Glandion Carney to its Wade in the Waters
Annual Spiritual Formation Conference “Sharing the Spiritual Formation
Journey.” Beginning at 9 a.m., Tuesday, March 14, 2006, at 119 West College St.
in Brownsville, Tenn., the day-long conference will
combine information in the form of lectures and discussions with formational
experiences such as spiritual formation
practices.
Carney, who has a diverse background in ministry and is an
experienced teacher of spiritual formation, will help conference participants
answer three questions: How can I grow into and move with God on a daily walk;
how can I model a good spiritual walk as a leader in my church; and how can my
church journey towards becoming a spiritual formation community? The spiritual
disciplines and their role in the Christian life will also be shared and
practiced as a way of exploring these questions. It will be an adventure that
welcomes both laity and clergy. Lunch will be provided as part of the
conference. Suggested donation for the conference is $30. Call 731-772-9533 to
register or for more information.
