Discernment: the Art of Making Good Decisions

I really want to serve God, but I am not sure exactly which role God is calling me to.  Pastor?  Chaplain?  Educator?  How do my personal life and my need for income fit in?  I’m really confused!  Can anyone help me sort this out?

Discernment is a time-honored spiritual practice that helps us listen to the Spirit as we explore choices we might make.  Join us for an ongoing Discernment Circle from 6:30 to 8:00 PM on the first and third Mondays of March, April, May, and June.  We’ll take you through a step-by-step process that has helped many individuals find clarity. 

We will form a group consisting of up to seven participants and two group leaders.  Sessions will include instruction on methods of discernment as well as small-group experiences designed to focus your question and keep the process moving.  Participants are invited to keep a journal of relevant insights and feelings between sessions.  

By means of deep listening and open-ended questions, participants will gain clarity about which of their options seem best.  The Circle will be facilitated by Oscar Brockmeyer and Judy Pluta, who have many years of experience guiding people through the process of discernment.

This program is free to all current and former students of Hartford Seminary.  If you are interested in this but not a student, please send an email to info@spiritlifectr.org.
