Compiled in preparation for Lent at Christ Episcopal Church. 

Here are some suggested ideas of Spiritual Practices to include in your Rule of Life (suggested by people in our first meeting):

Journaling, reading the Bible every day, using a prayer app, a book of daily meditations, Diane R.'s class/small group on the Christian Century, going to the Ash Wednesday Service, going to church every Sunday in Lent, praying the Daily Office, signing up for the devotionals from Episcopal Relief and Development, making an appointment to talk about discernment, praying the general confession every morning, using the Ignatian examen, going to confession, prayerful walking, gratitude journaling, going about chores prayerfully/intentionally, serving at a charity, giving away extra coats and clothes, attending Centering Prayer. 

As you can see, there's a wide variety of spiritual practices you could try in your Rule of Life. Choose practices that you're comfortable with, or practices that challenge you, or a combination! 

There's a sample rule of life below. If you have questions about how to craft your Rule of Life or you'd like to learn more about a specific spiritual practice feel free to email Courtney (therevecj@gmail.com). We also talked about how Courtney will have calendar appointments available for anyone who wants to talk about their Rule of Life, or what they're discovering in their Spiritual Gifts inventory, where they're at in your discernment, or if they'd like to make a confession appointment for during Lent as part of their Rule of Life.
