Mile End | Practising the Way Course

Jesus lived a fully whole and purposeful life, and many of us aspire to become more like him in the way that we live. But how do we do this in our day?

The reality is we have been (and are being) shaped by many things in our everyday lives: our own upbringing, experiences, the culture around us, and the routines and rhythms we order our lives around.

Practicing the Way is an eight-week course giving an opportunity to stop and reflect on some of these things, and look at how we might become formed more into the person of Jesus through various spiritual reflections and practices.

Each session will involve watching a short film together with reflective questions in small groups. To get the most out of it, we recommend you only sign up if you can make at least 6/8 sessions.

We will start at 7pm with food and begin the session at 7.30pm. We aim to finish by 9pm latest.

This course is suitable for anyone who wants to grow in faith – whether you're new to faith or have been following Jesus for a while.

Spiritual Health Reflection

In preparation for the course, we recommend doing the spiritual health reflection. This is a simple self-assessment tool, designed to help you gauge your inner life with God and the person you are becoming in Christ. It typically takes about 5 – 10 minutes to complete.

Practising the Way Book (Optional)

Author John Mark Comer outlines a timeless and practical vision for following Jesus in the modern era. Practicing the Way provides a culturally rich, deeply biblical, and honest and hopeful view of discipleship to Jesus.

We look forward to seeing you on the course!
