This week Wednesday we will meet in the Connect room in the basement of Holy Spirit at 7:30pm for something a little different than usual.  As we enter the second week of the new year, opportunity will be given to reflect back on the past year and to look ahead to this new year.  Time will be opened up to share about what ways you experienced God’s presence in your life this past year, times where God felt absent, and what are some things you are looking forward to this year.  We will then gather into smaller groups to learn an ancient method of prayer begun by St. Ignatius called ‘The Daily Examen’.  If you would like to get acquainted with this form of prayer before this Wednesday, there is a helpful internet:  http://www.ignatianspirituality.com/ignatian-prayer/the-examen/.  Afterwards, we’ll head out to Applebees for a bite to eat.
