At the Heart of All Faith is RELATIONSHIP:

Relationship with God - Relationship with Oneself - Relationship with Others

1. Relationship with God addresses the profound need for spending quality time with God through our personal prayer. It challenges us to a new depth and dynamic of prayer, one that is beyond mechanics and routine. It focuses more on a sense of intense longing for God. 
2. Relationship with Oneself invites us to look at ourselves through the eyes of God.  With the help of Sacred Scripture this session highlights the near-unimaginable mercy of God and challenges us to see ourselves as God sees us - - - as LOVED & FORGIVEN - - - a necessary insight to our understanding and acceptance of part III.
3. Relationship with Others moves us beyond ourselves into the realm of mission and ministry.  It postures us as partners of God, called to actually perform the works of God, in the name of God, and on behalf of the People of God, who are waiting for us to become what we pray.
