UPCOMING CHURCH ACTIVITIES
Life Together in Learning and Friendship
The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning.
WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?
A retreat led by Karen Wicker on March 1st from 9am-12:30pm
at St. Timothy’s-in-the-Valley
What will this new year bring? In light of the turmoil of recent weeks, we may feel a number of overwhelming emotions as we look ahead to 2025. Here is an opportunity to regroup and re-center ourselves as we enter the new year.
In this one-day retreat, we will mindfully and prayerfully discuss three holy longings in our souls—the longing for God’s presence, God’s peace, and God’s purpose for our lives—together in community with pauses for personal reflection. Based on John 1:35-39, we will consider Jesus’ question for his first followers, “What are you looking for?” in each of these three longings.
Thanks to the generosity of these hosting churches, the retreat will be free, but we ask for your reservation by December 28th so that we are fully prepared. Light breakfast foods and other snacks will be provided. You may sign up by using the QR code below or by visiting https://forms.gle/D6pHKgKUDDc6z22x5
May we come away from our time together with new insights for our faith journey, deeper friendships, and the peace that comes from time away in prayerful reflection with God and with one another.
