To be human is to be shaped by our daily habits and rhythms. Author Annie Dillard said, “How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives. What we do with this hour, and that one, is what we are doing.” What does this reality mean for the Christian life? What common, seemingly benign habits might be having a more formative effect on our hearts than the Gospel? How do we actually grow into people who more deeply love God and others? And how can we practically shape some of our habits and rhythms to enable this while avoiding rigidity and legalism?
Join 12 South women this summer as we gather around the table to dine and discuss the these kinds of questions through our reading of The Common Rule: Habits of Purpose in an Age of Distraction, by Justin Whitmel Early. This book will help us consider how our habits shape our souls for better or worse, and how we can grow (together) in intentional habits and practices that facilitate our spiritual formation.
We will kick off with a POTLUCK-style meal in the 12 South sanctuary on Thursday, June 19, 6-8pm, and there will be opportunity for follow up discussion after that.
Please register for the kickoff potluck dinner and plan to bring a SIDE DISH to share! We will start reading the book AFTER the kickoff dinner and meet two more times later in the summer to discuss.
