This resource seeks to be both a sample of the Companions in Christ 28-week resource and also a basic informational and experiential introduction to Christian formation spirituality. The resource can accommodate either an hour or an hour and a half setting and can be completed in just 6 weeks.
Perfect for small groups, this resource basic enough for those who are new or old to the Christian spiritual formation experience and is easily understood. It may be a bridge piece to carry people in the 28-week Companions in Christ resource.
