​Greetings from
Jennifer Shepherd,
who guides the
Steering Committee
for the Sustaining
Community in MS.


Looking for hidden treasure…


The Steering Committee is always searching for ways to nurture those who are trained in spiritual direction,  whether through Journey Partners or another program.  Offering ourselves through the ministry of spiritual direction requires periodic recharging.  We need places to identify the treasured gifts God has placed within us for the sake of others.   The soil of our own hearts must be cultivated and tended to keep us verdant and growing.  If you are a spiritual director, we invite you to join us as we care for each other.  Watch this site for opportunities.

Peace to you,
Jennifer
