Spiritual Gifts Discovery Workshop,
Sunday, June 22
12:30 – 2:30 pm, Hybrid
Thriving spiritual communities intentionally engage members in growing and evolving spiritually and relationally through sacred service. This is far beyond mere volunteering. Sacred Service Ministry results from a spiritual community culture that places a high value on individual and collective spiritual development, and sacred service that transforms lives within the spiritual community and beyond.
People embody these teachings and measure their success by serving in ways that maximize their gifts and callings.
Just as fingerprints are unique, so too are our soul prints, meaning each human soul has an individual mark that it leaves behind on everyone it touches. The goal with this workshop is to support individuals as they:
• Delve deeper into their True Self (who they have come here to be—their Being), and
• Experience their unique expression (what does “who they have come here to be” look like In Service—Doing)
We will spend two hours together in a discovery process flowing from the unique perspectives, passions and purpose we each hold in life. Discernment of an individual’s gifts provides meaning and purpose. It becomes the mooring for living in alignment with the values of the individual as well as the values of our spiritual community.
Because we are intentionally creating a thriving ministry, it is important to keep in mind that our community, even our global community, needs people: who are on an ongoing spiritual journey of discovering their gifts for sacred service, and who see themselves as stewards of those Spiritual Gifts. This workshop is just the beginning of this process as it:
• Prepares people to understand their gifts and live out their calling in every area of their lives.
• Helps individuals mature spiritually by using their gifts to serve each other and the community, so that the entire spiritual community can attain maturity of Spirit.
• Inspires, guides and supports people to find and respond to their inner call to serve and take action.
A 6-week spirit group will be offered in the spring to provide a more detailed discovery opportunity.
The gifts he gave were that some would be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teacher, to equip the saints for the work of ministry.—Ephesians 4:11-12
