HOLY LISTENING
To further our mission of caring for the spiritual lives of our children, St. Luke's is now offering the opportunity for a child to meet with a Holy Listener during 9:00am Sunday School or at a time arranged by the parents and our CM staff. A Holy Listener (HL) is a St. Luke's adult who has been trained in the spiritual gift of listening to a child in a special way using tools (like Holy Listening stones) that allow them to feel God's presence and comfort. It is not professional counseling but an opportunity to share God's loving presence with a child who might be experiencing a crisis of any sort (divorce of parents, loss of a loved one, moving to a new school/home, illness, bullying, transition, death of a pet, family financial or health difficulties, etc.) in their life. The short meeting could be a one time event or ongoing. (Our Safe Sanctuary policy would apply to make sure all parties are meeting in a secure, safe and welcoming environment.) Parents can request that a HL meet with their child through our Staff or the Superintendent and will be informed if a meeting occurs. Any information shared will be held in confidence within our Holy Listening Team. Click here to go to our Center for Spiritual Engagement website and meet our Holy Listening leaders.
