Annual Examen for Busy People

Every twelve months we experience the end of a calendar year and the beginning of another. You may find yourself asking questions like, "What have I experienced over the past year?" or "How have I grown?"

A new year is dawning and offers the potential for further growth and new opportunities to be explored.

The Annual Examen is a technique of prayerful reflection on the events of the past year in order to detect God's presence, and discern his direction. The Examen is an ancient practice in the Church that can help you see God's hand at work in your whole experience of life.

This helpful prayer & reflection tool was put together by Cyd Holsclaw. She is an Integrative Coach, author, co-founder of Embodied Faith and just happens to be Pastor Evan's Spiritual Director.

The Annual Examen for Busy People can be used in a variety of ways and instructions are provided in the booklet.

We pray that this will be a helpful tool that assists you in detecting God's presence with you over the past year, and in discerning His direction in your life as you enter 2025!
