We did a series from Jan-May at Horizon on Spiritual Rhythms where I taught on each rhythm (prayer, scripture reading for transformation, silence & solitude, community, self-examination, Sabbath, and discernment) for two weeks each. After the teaching each week, we would break up into small groups at our tables (we're a church in a strip mall and have the ability to be flexible in our set-up on Sunday) to have conversation and pray together. It also included a suggestion "To Practice" that Spiritual Rhythm in the week ahead.
It was received well and very much appreciated from those who are newer Christians to those who are maturing.
