FAITH IN THE WORKPLACE: Supporting Christian Discipleship in the World of Work
January 29, 2012
This series of classes, delivered in partnership with Mission Scotland, is an opportunity to explore both biblically and practically what it means to be a 21st century disciple in the workplace. It is aimed at those who support and encourage Christians in the workplace (such as ministers and others in church leadership) as well as those in work or who volunteer. Streams in the Desert: Drawing Fresh Water from Various Sources of Christian Spiritual Formation - As adult disciples many of us experience seasons of spiritual dryness in our Christian journey. This class will explore the challenges of finding living water in the desert times of life, drawing on resources from a variety of Christian traditions. Details can be found on the ICC website. Booking in advance for the classes is not necessary but it helps us in planning. Contact Sandra McSporran (sandra.mcsporran@icc.ac.uk) to register.
