*What is Spiritual Direction? We strive together (one-on-one) to be open to the inner movement of the Holy Spirit in one’s life. It is a privileged meeting of hearts, where the one seeking is encouraged to unfold in God through the power of the Holy Spirit. Through this encounter, we increase our awareness of God in the midst of life’s experience and acknowledge that God yearns for a relationship with us as much as we long for God.
Donations for individual Spiritual Direction may be made to East Congregational United Church of Christ. Please enter Siloam S.C. on the memo line. Standard amount for this donation is $35-$50 per session; however nobody will be refused spiritual direction because of inability to pay. Group spiritual direction is also offered. Talk with Ann or Pat about this possibility.
