Christian spiritual formation is the process of being conformed to the image of Jesus Christ for the glory of God and for the sake of others (II Corinthians 3:17-18). The focus of spiritual formation is the Holy Spirit, who guides the ongoing journey towards union with God. The response is submission.

St. John’s offers Christian Formation opportunities tailored to adults, youth, and children. The Rector’s Forum is held each Sunday at 9:15 in the Library. This group will discuss scripture and topics related to that day’s sermon.

Spiritual Practices Lab

Sacred Rhythms for Everyday Life

What if prayer, scripture, and reflection could become less like obligations and more like life-giving rhythms?

Join us for a seven-week online Spiritual Practices Lab as we explore simple, time-tested practices that help us become more attentive to God's presence in our daily lives. Each session includes a brief introduction, a guided experience of a spiritual practice, and conversation about what we discover along the way.

Together, we'll explore practices such as the Examen, Lectio Divina, centering prayer, gratitude, praying the Psalms, developing a personal rule of life, and spiritual journaling. No prior experience is necessary—just curiosity and a willingness to try something new.

This is not a lecture series, but a space for learning by doing. Whether you're new to spiritual practices or looking to deepen your faith, you'll be invited to experiment, reflect, and discover practices that can enrich your relationship with God.

Come as you are and join us as we cultivate sacred rhythms for everyday life.

Rector's Forum: 12 for Today
This is your sub-headline

Beginning Sunday, September 20, at 9:15 a.m. in the Library, join us for a new Rector’s Forum, “12 for Today: The Minor Prophets Speak.” These twelve prophets may be called “minor,” but their messages are anything but small. Together, we’ll explore these often-overlooked books of the Old Testament and discover what these ancient voices have to say about faith, justice, mercy, hope, and our lives today.
