Just as creation has changing seasons, in our spiritual journey we also experience different seasons – like a winter season when God may feel distant and we don’t sense growth, or a spring season when we delight in seeing the fruit of the Spirit budding in our soul!

How do I know what season I am in? Where is God, especially in winter? What are the spiritual practices that sustain us in each season?

Come explore the seasons of our soul in an interactive workshop led by Anne Thicke
