Woman's Sacred Circle 'Sacred Journey Group'
Leader: Laura Boyer, M Ed, Christian Educator and EFM Mentor.
Spirituality is about a lifelong journey of growth.  Mind, body and spirit each of these needs exercise to support our lifelong journey.  Do you desire a dynamic relationship with God?  Do you think about the 'meaning of life'?  Do you sense your spirituality in your daily life?  Does your spirituality seem to have a rhythm?  If these questions 'resonate' the Sacred Journey Group may be for you.  I invite you to consider joining me in taking an intentional and interactive approach to spiritual practices that can open us to God.   To discern if this group is for you please contact Laura Boyer at 561-994-5988 or the Rev Kathleen P Gannon at 561-276-4541.

Meetings will be held at St Paul's Episcopal Church on the first Monday of the month from 1:00pm - 2:30 pm.  The remaining meeting dates are Dec 1, Jan 5, Feb 2, Mar 2, Apr 6.
