Would you like to spend time together today?

Do you long for a deeper connection to God? Do you want to know Christ and experience a new way of living? Are you curious about how to establish a daily quiet time? Then, you are invited to begin a spiritual journey with "Time Together Today." If you are willing to set aside some time each day, will take this journey together, beginning today. We will use this time to read our Bibles, meditate on how the Word intersects with our lives and pray for guidance. In January of 2014, we will begin a study ... and practice ... of the 12 Spiritual Disciplines as described by Richard Foster in his seminal book, "Celebration of Discipline." Each month will be devoted to one of the Disciples that help us grow in our Christian walk: Meditation, Prayer, Fasting, Study, Simplicity, Solitude, Submission, Service, Confession, Worship, Guidance and Celebration. Over the course of the next 13 weeks, until Jan. 1, 2014, we will explore first, the details on how and why to begin a daily devotional time; then we will devote one week to an overview of each Discipline. This introductory time together will allow us to get to know each other, to share what works (and what hasn't worked) in creating a time and place for our daily devotions and to purchase some of the books that we will use next year. Foremost is Foster's "Celebration of Discipline" and secondly, the daily devotional I'll be using, "Spiritual Disciplines Devotional: a Year of Readings," by Valerie E. Hess. I will also recommend some study guides, workbooks and classical readings that can enhance our experience of following the 12 Spiritual Disciplines. Will you join me on this quest for a deeper relationship with our Savior? Please feel free to comment and add your voice and your experiences as we travel along with Time Together Today.
