Spiritual Direction

Individual Spiritual Direction

Meeting once a month with a spiritual director offers one-on-one companionship along your spiritual journey. Spiritual directors have gone through theological training and hold certificates in this ancient ministry. Providence Church offers to pay for two sessions of spiritual direction for those interested. Learn more about these area directors:

Walking as a Spiritual Practice

From Eve and Adam’s walks with God in the cool of the evening to the disciples’ walk with the resurrected Christ on the way to Emmaus, the Bible points to numerous instances (more than 600) of walking as part of the human experience with God. Whether as short as a labyrinth walk or as long as a pilgrimage, the physical movement of walking and running has long been a part of spiritual practice and a life of discipleship. Join us and experience for yourself walking as a spiritual practice.

All walks take place at Long Hunter State Park’s Couchville Lake Trail and begin at 8:00 am.
This is an open group accessible to most fitness levels. The trail is paved and level.
Please contact Scott Spradley with questions or visit spradleyspiritualdirection.com.

Updated regularly, currently scheduled 2019 dates and session topics are:

September 14: Praying the Miles
October 12: Centering Prayer on the Move
November 16: Walking and Praying with Scripture
December 14: Holy Conversation

Join us for Walking as a Spiritual Practice!
- Registration is not required but it does allow us to inform you of upcoming walks and any schedule changes due to weather or other circumstances.
