Spiritual Life

Sacred Space

Saint Paul meets you where you are by offering a weekly worship and spiritual formation opportunity that we call Sacred Space every Tuesday at 11 AM. Many of us are busy leading worship in our own contexts, often neglecting our own spiritual well-being. Sacred Space will be an opportunity to pause and be fully present to the Spirit and to one another.
 
Each week, Sacred Space will include music, liturgy, scripture, prayer, and a homily or spiritual practice (e.g., lectio divina, art, or embodied prayer) led by a guest preacher or practitioner. We will also celebrate Eucharist at the final service of each month. At the start of each month, we’ll send out a Sacred Space newsletter with the schedule, resources, and updates. This will also be linked in the weekly Campus Messenger.
 
We welcome your creativity and participation! If you are on the Kansas Campus, join us in room C136. If you are on the Oklahoma Campus, join us in Harris Chapel. If you are joining us online, check your Campus Messenger for the Zoom Meeting ID or email Rev. Dr. Margaretta Smith Narcisse. If you would like to see recordings of some of our past chapel worship services, you can view them on our YouTube channel or Facebook page.

Spiritual Formation Retreats

 

Spiritual Formation Retreats are day-long gatherings of students, faculty, and staff for prayer, learning, and fellowship. 

By gathering in community, we seek to be formed for ministry; to grow in personal and social holiness and to deepen our sense of being the body of Christ in this place. 

 

NOTE: During events, photographers and videographers will take photos and videos that may be used in future Saint Paul School of Theology marketing materials. Events may be live-streamed.
