- What are your favorite spiritual exercises (see notes above)? What are your most challenging spiritual exercises?
- Name one part of an ecosystem that you are consistently engaged with that is compelling you to health? (Relationships, environments, exercise behaviors; God, recovery partners, specialized training or giving back)

RECEIVE HOLY COMMUNION TOGETHER
1 Corinthians 11:23-26 NKJV For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus on the [same] night in which He was betrayed took bread; 24 and when He had given thanks, He broke [it] and said, "Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me." 25 In the same manner [He] also [took] the cup after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink [it], in remembrance of Me." 26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death till He comes.
