'Making Ordinary Saints' event coming to Peace, Gahanna; All members of SOS invited to attend

Is your heart longing for a deeper, richer experience of the fruit of the Spirit in your daily life? If so, then this gathering is for you! It will provide...

• A practical understanding of exactly how the spiritual disciplines function as a means of grace for spiritual formation
• A fresh retelling of the practice of the spiritual disciplines
• A lively conversation between son and father about precisely how the spiritual disciplines can help us in our daily life with Christ
• A doable structure for making genuine progress forward in the kingdom of God

Conference admission includes a copy of The Making of an Ordinary Saint. More than thirty years after his father‘s classic book brought them to the masses, Nathan Foster took his own unique path into the spiritual disciplines. As he sought day-by-day to develop habits that would enable him to live more like Jesus, he encountered problems both universal and personal. Along the way, he found creative new ways to practice the disciplines and discovered that a vital, conversational relationship with God was truly within his grasp. The Making Ordinary Saints Conference invites you to deeper into the journey explored in the book. You may just find that holy habits are truly possible for all.
