Contemplative Practices Program - Informational Meeting
Monday, June 15 • 6:30 p.m. •  Colonnade • No pre-registration required
‍What do you seek? (John 1:38-39)
‍What might it look like to notice God’s presence woven into your everyday life? We invite WCC members to explore the Contemplative Practices Program to deepen your spirituality and become more attentive to the sacred in the ordinary. As you become grounded in your inner life, you’ll begin to discern how you are called to serve in the world's healing. 

Join our informational meeting to learn how the program can help you grow. During the one-hour discussion, led by Rev. Dustin Janzen, Rev. Dan Stark, Dana Essex, and past members of the Contemplative Practices Program, they will share insights and answer your questions. To learn more, contact Dana, danaessex@comcast.net.

Wayzata Community Church began this unique opportunity for spiritual formation in 2023. We are in the third year of The Contemplative Discipleship Partnership with the University of St. Catherine, funded by a grant from the Lilly Foundation.
