Gospel Contemplation: The Spiritual Practice of Imagination!

12+
With Randell Neudorf
​
There are more ways to engage scripture than just Bible study. Engaging with scripture can become a dynamic time of prayer when we allow our imaginations in. Using the spiritual practice of Gospel Contemplation, participants will have the chance to reflect on scripture as the “film director” (set the scene), “the actor” (choose a role) and finally by “breaking the 4th wall” (praying into the story as yourself). Don’t worry if you have stage fright, this movie will only play out in your own imagination! Bring a willingness to read a Jesus story through your imagination, and openness to a fresh ‘encounter’ in your personal experience.
