Belonging and Becoming…deeply rooted Followers of Jesus is our purpose at Sherwood Park Alliance Church. So how do we do this? There are certain time tested, biblically inspired, sacred practices which are pathways to a life of deep communion with God: Sabbath; Prayer; Fasting; Solitude; Scripture; Simplicity; Community; Generosity; Hospitality; Service. Below are a few resources on the practice of Community. Sacred practices are often best explored, and even implemented, in the context of community.
