Rule Of Life
A Rule of Life helps us to set goals or intentions so that we can grow in grace and become more like Christ. This is an ancient practice that has been used by Christian communities throughout the centuries and was an integral part of John Wesley's earliest form of Methodism.
When we discern how we will practice our faith, write down our plans, and invite our community to help us follow through, we pave the way to experience God's transforming grace in our lives.
