First Presbyterian Church

2011-2012 First Presbyterian Church Life Series

Do you have the relationship with God that you want to have?  What if you could experiment with ways to grow your faith, and grow closer to God?  Would you be interested in such an experiment?

This year we invite our congregation into PRA•X•IS: The Experiment – to commit to five spiritual practices using specific tools over the course of a year, and to evaluate how those practices affect the spiritual journey.

Here is our hypothesis: if we commit to these practices, our relationships with Jesus Christ and with one another will be radically and eternally transformed. 

Test our hypothesis.  Take the experiment.  Engage in the PRA•X•IS of faith.

“I appeal to you therefore, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual act of worship.  Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may discern what is the will of God – what is good and acceptable and perfect.”  Romans 12:1-2
