"Boundless Compassion: Creating a Way of Life" by Joyce Rupp
Lifelong Learning | Registration opens 5/1/2025 9:00 AM EDT
The book discussion will be based on “Boundless Compassion: Creating a Way of Life” by well-known author Joyce Rupp. It is intended that each group participant will use the book for daily prayer, spiritual reading, and journaling. Each class meeting will have shared conversation and discussion. This gathering provides time for self-reflection, learning, and fellowship opportunities to individuals who are interested in spiritual care and spiritual health. Attendees learn from the group facilitator and each other as they enhance their knowledge of self, Creator, and others especially for people in need throughout our communities. It is open to women of all ages and Christian faith traditions. We will learn about spiritual listening and how to encourage one another’s spiritual health through presence. Our sharing time is not for life problem-solving, but for promoting whole-person health which is balancing body, mind & spirit.
Each participant will need to obtain Boundless Compassion: Creating a Way of Life before the first session. Regular reading and being prepared before each group session are strongly encouraged. Each participant needs to get the most from each session to move forward in one’s spiritual health. Participants do not need to be present for each session, however, it is encouraged that these dates be put aside as sacred time and self-care. The only item that participants are asked to bring to the first session is a photo of themselves (any age) at a special occasion or event such as a birthday party, wedding day, Christmas, etc.
