The scriptures teach that God is with us and that as children of God, we live in His presence. The phrase "practicing the presence of God" is showing up in popular Christian culture. But what does that mean? Is it biblical or just new age concepts creeping in? And is it something we should grow in? Would living more fully with that awareness make a difference in how we are doing in our emotional and mental well being? Come join the conversation.

Jesus often withdrew in his three years of earthly ministry and yet no one has had more impact on this planet than Jesus. We are called to imitate our Lord in everything, Jesus was someone who practiced self-care in his life. He was filled up to be poured out! This class we will speak about the priority, pace and practicals of self-care as we all strive to love others. Jesus said love your neighbor as yourself. One could say if someone does not know how to love themselves how will they know how to love their neighbor as deep.

The session will be about how mindfulness can be used to examine some roadblocks which stop us from growing deeper in intimacy with self, others, and God and how to overcome those roadblocks by merging mindfulness with biblical standards.
