Published by Upper Room Ministries, Companions in Christ is a transforming small-group experience that builds spiritual practices within one’s faith pilgrimage. It is a 28-week spiritual journey that draws participants into daily time with God through individual reading and reflection and meeting weekly for sharing and deeper exploration. The journey in spiritual formation moves through five components: Christian journey, scripture, prayer, call, and spiritual guidance.

The Way of the Child

Led by Barbara Massey on Sunday evenings, The Way of the Child: Helping Children Experience God is a new resource which focuses on the spiritual formation of children.

The Way of the Child recognizes that children have an innate spirituality, an acceptance of mystery, an amazing capacity for awe, a vital imagination, and an ability to be open to and receive God’s love.

For children in elementary grades, The Way of the Child leads children into a deeper relationship with God, instills in children spiritual practices to form lifelong habits, encourages children to respond to God, and provides an experience of vital community.

PARENTS: If you are interested in your elementary-aged child being a part of this unique opportunity, please contact Barbara Massey, 288-1131. Also, consider being a part of the adult Companions in Christ. It will deepen your’s and your child’s spiritual life!
