Discernment Groups

Winter Discernment Group
Thursdays, Jan. 23-Feb. 27, 4-5 p.m.
Wilton Center Conference Room

The start of a new year is an excellent time to reflect on our journey thus far and to determine next steps. The Winter Discernment Group is a six-week series in which we’ll examine scriptures that share different call stories from the Bible and look at sacred and secular readings about calling. The sessions will be discussion-based, and participants will have an opportunity to consider (and share, if desired) how they are experiencing God’s presence in their lives and what they are hoping for the semester and year ahead. Participants may attend one, some or all of the meetings. This group will be led by Associate Chaplain Bryn Taylor.

University Chaplain Craig Kocher will lead a four-session discernment group from 4-5 p.m. on Friday afternoons. Discernment is the spiritual practice of sifting through our thoughts, feelings, and emotions to be more in sync with the way God’s spirit is working in our lives and in the world around us.The group is open to anybody who would like to cultivate a deeper attentiveness to God’s guiding presence in their lives.
