Retreat 2011
You are invited to join with others and journey together as you seek communion with Christ. In our over scheduled lives we can be consumed by the very things that drive our passion, at times leaving minimal space for Christ himself.
And early in the morning, while it was still dark, He arose and went out and departed to a lonely place, and was praying there. (Mark 1:35)
Jesus sought stillness. Jesus sought a place to be in communion with his Father. Take up the invitation. Value the opportunity. May God work in your heart and mind, bringing renewal and refreshment as you move onward.
