This Week’s SOUL TRAINING (Sept 8-14):
“WRITING A LETTER TO GOD“
PRACTICE
Take an hour or two some time this week to write a letter to God. Begin the letter with “Dear God, the life I want most for myself is …” The rest of the letter will complete this opening statement (or prayer). 
What would a good and beautiful life look like for you? Will it involve a major life change? Will it demand a new set of friends? Will it involve changing old narratives and habits? Feel free to dream big. Let God in on your greatest hopes.
EXTRA PRACTICE
Ask a coworker or neighbour what their biggest hopes are for the next year. Ask to pray for them. Email, call or send a card of encouragement to someone you went to college with or grew up with – when dreams for the future seemed to come so much easier!
FAMILY PRACTICE
Invite your family to write their own letters and share them around the dinner table. Help your kids write or draw their own letters. Hang them on the fridge or make a family dream book.
WHAT IS “SOUL TRAINING”?
Each week throughout the “Good and Beautiful Life” message series, we will be inviting you to engage in a different spiritual practice with God. These practices are intended to help you reflect on and to apply the truth from Sunday’s message (i.e. “Soul Training”). To help you remember these practices and to encourage you to be intentional to engage, each week we will post more information about that week’s practice here (in addition to a weekly email reminder). Our hope and prayer is that many in our church family will meet with Jesus in new and profound ways as we engage in these transformative soul training exercises together!
