Heartland Center for Spirituality in Great Bend will hold its first SpiritLife class day for the fall 2013 semester on Saturday, Aug. 24, from 9 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. Classes for the day are as follows:
9:30 a.m.  Biblical Spiritualty Part 1, by Sr. Renee Dreiling OP.  We will look at an overview of the Old Testament especially at praying the Psalms.  Sr. Renee will share a methodology for scripture study that she learned in the seminary.
10:55 a.m.  Spiritual Development:  The Big Picture,  by Philip St Romain.  What do we mean by spiritual development?  How would we compare it with other aspects of human development (moral, social, psychological)?  This class examines the big picture of human development to set the stage for future discussions on the topic.
2 p.m. Following Your Call,  by Marcia Bercheck.  God made us to be a part of something bigger than ourselves.  That purpose is straining for fulfillment inside of us right now.  Our inner call summons us to our purpose.  If we pay attention to our inner call, our lives will be filled with meaning and purpose.  If we ignore the call, our lives easily become marked with frustration and boredom.  During this class we reflect on the importance of finding the place where our deep gladness and the world’s hunger meet.
Day rate: $50 (includes lunch); $75 for Friday overnight (includes breakfast) plus day.
Semester rates also available for commuters and overnight.
