COMING THIS FALL!

There are times when we who minister feel empty. Conversely, there are 
times when we feel simply brimming with joy, energy, and life. But 
whether you are empty or filled, consider coming to the Retreat on 
Prayer and Spirituality that our district sponsors every year on the 
first Monday through Wednesday of October at Canyon of the Eagles near 
Burnet.

If you are empty, you will be gently guided into ways of spending time 
alone with God that will refresh, renew, console and fill you, with 
support from brothers and sisters who have been where you are.

If you are filled, you will be able to explore ways and disciplines that 
will deepen even more your relationship with God, and be able to 
practice and apply what you learn in a setting of solitude, beauty and 
encouragement.

So, we invite you to come! Take advantage of the opportunity to come for 
the first time or come back for the 10th times. You will be blessed.
