Spiritual Disciplines I
If you want to make these handouts available for your people at the Spiritual Disciplines I conference, open the following PowerPoint (.ppt) and Word (.doc) documents and print one of each to make an original. From the originals print as many handouts as you need. They should be stapled or distributed in the order found on this page. Any documents that have color in them are designed to be printed in black-and-white.
Note that in the second session on Praying the Bible that each person will need a Bible. Bibles on phones or tablets will work for this exercise. Couples are not to share. If you are not sure that every person present will have access to a Bible please bring in a few Bibles to hand out for this exercise. Another option is, using your Bible software or copying from the Internet, print five (5) Psalms onto a few handouts. Sometimes it’s possible to get five on the front-and-back of one sheet. But the five should correspond to the “Psalms of the Day.” In other words, print the Psalm that corresponds with the date when the material will be taught, then keep adding thirty until you get five Psalms. For example, if the material on Praying the Bible will be taught at your event on the 15th of the month, then you will first put Psalm 15 on the handout. Then by adding thirty, you will add Psalms 45, 75, 105, and 135. If your event will be on the 29th, only put two or three sections from Ps. 119 (which is one of the five “Psalms of the Day” on the 29th).
