RULE OF LIFE

A Rule of Life is a pattern to follow for daily living. Some of us at St George’s are experimenting with adopting the following practices.

All are welcome to share in this experience.

Taking a Vow

We commit to love and encourage one another, in kindness and grace, without judgement, in our shared desire to follow the way of Jesus

Reading the Scriptures

We read the Scriptures every day, in a way that is manageable and sustainable for each person, whether that’s reading one Bible verse; a Psalm every day; a story in the Gospel; the Scriptures allocated for Anglican Morning/Evening Prayer; the Bible in a year. We allow these Spirit-filled words to dwell in us, challenge us and shape us.

Practicing Silence

We believe that God meets us in a special way when we are silent and still. When we meet as a community we will hold silence together. In our own lives, we will increase our practice of silence.

Honouring the Sabbath

We acknowledge our need for Sabbath. We commit to time each week when we will disconnect from our devices. We take a whole day without engaging in our usual labours, entrusting our work to God. We will identify what helps us to be free children of God and spend time in rest and joyful celebration.

Beginning & Ending Our Day with Prayer

This rhythm of prayer is not about perfection, but presence. It’s a way of framing our lives in communion with God, allowing each day to begin and end with sacred intention. Whether spoken aloud, whispered in silence, or held in the heart, these moments help us live more deeply rooted in love.
