Report to the 2007 Metro Association Fall Meeting
Committee on Spiritual Life and Practice

November, 2007

Our lives are busy as we provide pastoral care to those whom we serve. At the same time, we need to pay attention to self-care and appropriate continual growth in our own spiritual life. There are necessary components of ministry which equip us to offer pastoral care with wisdom and spiritual maturity. The Spiritual Life and Practice Committee's goal is to provide opportunities for clergy to work on self-growth and self-care. This Committee will endeavor to provide opportunities for clergy through workshops, symposia, etc., to enable us to be renewed, restored and challenged.

Yours in Christ,

Rev. Dr. Martha R. Jacobs
Chair
