SF101: Living the Christian YearAn introduction to the Christian Year, which is based on the life of Christ. We will seek to understand the significance of each remembrance: Advent, Epiphany, Lent, Christ’s Death & Resurrection, Ascension, Pentecost, Trinity Sunday, and the Ordinary Times. The Christian Year is a wonderful rhythm of grace that helps us to walk afresh with Jesus each year, following in His footsteps in order to counter-act the deadening effect of busyness and hurry. Date: 6, 13, 20 Nov 2021 (Saturdays) Time: 2.30-5.30pm Venue: Virtual (note that our class size is small, interaction is expected even when conducted virtually). Recommended donation of $100 to CSF. SF102: Introduction to Spiritual FormationSF102 is the 2nd in the series of CSF’s Spiritual Formation courses. It provides a first broad introduction to spiritual formation, subsequent courses that come after will layer on the learning, with a closer look at various aspects of spiritual formation. In this course, the focus is not only to learn & understand, but also to experience the process of spiritual formation, in community. We draw from the rich Christian spiritual traditions down the centuries to inform and challenge us. The group conversations and practice activities both within and outside of class times are as important as the teaching segments. Session 1: Spiritual Formation ~ A Focus on the Journey Inward Session 2: Your Story, in God’s Story Session 3: Formation in Community Date: 8, 15, 22 Jan 2022 (Saturdays) Time: 2.30-5.30pm Venue: Virtual (note that our class size is small, interaction is expected even when conducted virtually).

It is heartening to learn that the Word of God is not only a revelation of the LORD to His children but also a resource to aid us in our prayer to Him. In this course, we will learn to let the Word of God descend from our head to our heart and seek God there. It is there where reading the Bible seeks to challenge our habitual beliefs, attitudes and behaviour. We become open to the Holy Spirit’s action of grace upon our lives. Session 1: Why Lectio Divina Session 2: How Lectio Divina Session 3: Lectio Divina and Spiritual Formation Date: 5, 12, 19 Mar 2022 (Saturdays) Time: 2.30-5.30pm Venue: Virtual (note that our class size is small, interaction is expected even when conducted virtually).
