The Engaging Spirituality Group meets throughout the year in defined sessions with defined themes.

There is usually some reading associated with this group and meetings include personal/faith sharing and prayer.  Facilitators include our pastors and other lay-leaders.

An example of a recent session:

How do we hear when God is talking to us?  How have we learned to listen to the voice of God?  John A. Sanford is a Jungian analyst and Episcopal priest.  One of his many books is Dreams, God’s Forgotten Language.  He suggests that God speaks to us through dreams and visions much like people in the Bible were visited by God and God’s angels and visions.
Join in a small group exploration of this very readable book starting Thursday from 6-8pm.
We’ll meet for nine weeks in the youth room (3rd floor) in the AMY (admin/music/youth) building.The book is available at Amazon for $10.79; used books are less.  It does not seem to be available in an electronic version, nor local libraries.  Look for the newest edition (1989 or 1990).
Contact  engagingspirituality @ campbellunited.org if you are interested in attending or have any questions.

If you would like to find out more or join this group for an upcoming session, sign up on a worship attendance card or send a note to pastor[at]campbellunited[dot]org.  This group normally has a maximum of 12 participants.

Care-A-Vaners is a California-Nevada United Methodist Conference RV mission team that usually travels within our Conference to work on Methodist Churches and Church properties.  We usually work for one week from 8am until 5pm Monday through Friday.  We often stay on the property where we are working, so need to be self contained.  We bring our own tools, but the churches provide the materials.  We cook our own meals, even though some churches do provide snacks and/or a pot luck meal.  For more information, contact CareaVaners[at]campbellunited[dot]org
