Dear {first},

The Center for Faith & Work has several online learning experiences. These opportunities allow you to learn on your own or with others in your church community, whether you live in NYC or elsewhere. Consider using one of these courses during the upcoming summer months to bring a sense of renewal to your work.

• FAITH & WORK 6-WEEK COURSE: This introductory course focuses on six different Bible passages from which we can gain insight concerning God's intention for our work. The course weaves together spiritual practices, daily devotionals, and biblical teaching.
   
• REAL LIFE PRAYER: A FAITH & WORK PRAYER JOURNEY:  While at times our workplaces can seem like a barren wilderness, how might prayer enable us to envision them instead as places of hope where God is at work producing fruit? In this 10-week online course, participants are guided through a complete prayer journey including talks, practicum, reading, meditative prayer and more.
   
• CALLING: FAITHFULNESS IN THE PRESENT: The Bible establishes an important context which transforms the way we view our work and our sense of calling. The gospel changes everything and realigns our expectations in such a way that connects our daily work with God's redemptive purposes. This course includes four talks on the topic of calling and two sets of daily devotionals.

We hope our online courses will provide an opportunity to be inspired and renewed in the work you do for the glory of God.

Sincerely,
David H. Kim, Executive Director, Center for Faith & Work
