Knowing Yourself Workshop – St. Luke’s, North Park

Knowing Yourself: Ministry from a place of self-awareness –

“The purposes in the human heart are deep waters; but the one who has insight draws them out.” Proverbs 20:5

As followers of Jesus who are also formed in and by the world, each of us ministers from a “social location.” This means that each of us see and understand God and the world through a lens shaped by our numerous identities such as ethnicity, age, immigration status, education, class, gender and sexuality, etc. Some of these identities we may be acutely aware of. Others may be less obvious to us. ALL aspects of our social location are useful to God.

Knowing Yourself makes space for folks to consider all these pieces of their identity in order to:
• name how they have been formed as bearers of God’s image
• consider how their social location has equipped them for ministry
• cultivate self-awareness in community to practice nurturing authentic relationships across lines of difference.
We hope you’ll join us for an afternoon of self-reflection and story-sharing.

Names of facilitators will be available closer to the workshop.
Registration is open to a maximum of 30 people and will close promptly on April 27, 2025 at 9 PM, or when it is full.
