Family Vision Part 2 - Spiritual

Spiritual Vision

Develop a one-year curriculum of spiritual traditions to be followed and developed from 2005 forward

• Incorporate both Jewish and Christian calendars into a Pryor family calendar.
• Document activities that are done or developed so they can be repeated
• All activities should involve as many senses as possible and require participation by all family members.

Celebrate a Sabbath from sundown on Saturday until sundown on Sunday

• Attend a corporate worship service with our church family
• Have a Saturday night family meal and family worship (friends are welcome)
• Buy one candle for each person in the family with the same scent and light them in different rooms at sundown Saturday night and have a different prayer for each to signal the beginning of Shabbat. Blow them out and put them away sundown Sunday.
• Set aside one hour for individual quiet time to seek the Lord (perhaps 4-5pm Sunday)
• Plan the day to be restful by having all details for meals and activities planned in advance

Create a daily, weekly, yearly and seven-year rhythm that encourages each member’s discipleship

• Daily – Develop habits of prayer and Bible reading daily
• Weekly – Celebrate the Sabbath, participate in community and church leadership.
• Yearly – Family summit, yearly spiritual calendar, mission trip once per year.

Fully immerse our lives in a local faith community

• Take responsibility for the health of our church and the expansion of God’s Kingdom in the location of its mission.
• Find numerous ways to integrate our lives with others in our church and to give our time, money, ideas, gifts and prayers generously to them and to actively depend on them to do the same for us.
