Clergy Retreat for Nov. 4-6
“I have called you by name”—Isaiah 43:1
Sometimes we grow distant from remembering central truths about ourselves, our life with God, one another and the natural world around us. Roles or expectations swirl around us and take hold. Then in a sudden moment something shifts—calling to us more deeply again. Come away to rest, listen and perhaps be surprised to discover again the loves that claim you and free you in your ministry and living.
