Spiritual Renewal Days
Twice a year all of GEM is invited to take a day with God together. We call these our spiritual renewal days. For our next renewal day (13 March 2024) we will be using GEM's "Day with God Organizer"and reflecting on Jesus' prayer in John 17.
We hope is that using the Day with God Organizer will give some ideas for how to spend time with God at other points during the year and that meditating on John 17 will encourage us to imitate Christ in the ways we interact with our Heavenly Father and help prepare our hearts for celebrating Holy Week and Easter later this month.
The schedule will be identical for both CET and CDT. We will have three optional gatherings on Microsoft Teams that day. Please go to your Teams Calendar to access any of the group calls you want to join.
09H00 – 10H00 Full Group Teams Meeting Introduction
13H00 – 13H30 Full Group Teams Meeting Midday Worship
16H00 – 16H30 Full Group Teams Meeting Debrief
More details can be found in the participant guide. We recommend looking through the guide and printing whatever pages you want to use ahead of time.
There is freedom to use all, part, or none of this guide. The main goal is to have time with the Lord, whatever that ends up looking like.
For more ideas, consider this article on spiritual pathways for some resources on other ways to connect with God.
