"All Religions have spiritual practices. Buddhists burn sage and meditate. Muslims avail themselves of their prayer rugs. Christian tradition has developed a wealth of practices, too: fasting, almsgiving, vigil-keeping, confessing, meditation... In churches and homes everywhere, people are increasingly interested in doing Christianity, not just speaking or believing it." Muddhouse Sabbath, Lauren F. Winner

At Hope Church, we believe that spiritual practices teach us what it means to live as Christians. Discipleship means engaging practices of Christian spirituality in order to grow more deeply into the people God is calling us to be. Which practices? Well, that is largely up to you, but consider these possibilities:
