All members of the Community of Hope and our Congregational Care Team are invited to a special Circle of Care in celebration of St. Benedict’s Day on Thursday, July 13, 6:00-8:00 p.m. Cha Foxhall (director of The Living Well Center for Psychotherapy, Spirituality, and Health and adjunct faculty at the Institute of Religion and Health) will conduct a wellness workshop. The content of the workshop is based on the latest and most up-to-date scientific and clinical research from the fields of mind/body medicine, psychoneuroim-munology, psychology, and neuroscience combined with time honored wisdom from ancient spiritual traditions emphasizing Benedictine spirituality.
Benedictine spirituality is a way of life that helps a person to seek God and God’s will daily. It encourages a balanced life of corporate worship, spiritual reading and work in the context of community. People are seen as integrated in Body, Mind, and Spirit. Core values in Benedictine Spirituality are stability, obedience (to God), personal transformation, humility, and hospitality, care of the ill, living a life style of love centered in Christ and listening for god in all of life. Participants will leave the workshop with some very effective tools for self-care and stress management. All members interested in becoming involved in our congregational care ministries are invited to attend.
A light supper will be served, so please RSVP to Beverly Davis or 713-523-2864 ext. 1027.
