This summer, Pastor Nickia is prayerfully exploring the possibility of leading a new class centered around the book The Body Revelation by Alisa Keeton — and we would love to know if there is interest within our church family!
This class would be more than simply reading a book together. It would be an invitation to reconnect our faith, our bodies, movement, rest, healing, and the goodness of God’s creation. Together, we would walk through the themes of stewarding our health, renewing our minds, and learning how to live healthy and whole lives through a Christ-centered lens.
As part of the experience, we would finish our study with a group walk and prayer experience, with hopes throughout the summer of gathering outdoors in places such as Kanopolis State Park or Wilson State Park to hike, move our bodies, experience God’s creation, and intentionally listen for His voice together.
Some of you may not know that Pastor Nickia is a certified RevWild Instructor through Revelation Wellness. RevWild is Revelation Wellness’ outdoor leadership training that equips leaders to guide others through outdoor adventures and experiences centered around loving God, getting healthy, being whole, and loving others. The training focuses on using movement, wilderness, and creation as spaces to encounter God in deep and meaningful ways.
Over the past several years, graduate school and ministry responsibilities have pulled Pastor Nickia away from leading wilderness and outdoor discipleship groups, but the desire to return to this kind of ministry has remained deeply rooted in her heart. This class would be a first step back into creating spaces where people can move, breathe, pray, heal, laugh, and encounter God together outdoors.
If this is something you would be interested in, please let Pastor Nickia know! We would also love feedback regarding scheduling preferences:
Wednesdays or Sundays?
Morning or evening?
We are excited to see what God may have in store for this summer season together.
