Y'all,
Every year for the past 14 years of ordained ministry I have taken a yearly clergy retreat for reflection, renewal, and really silly fun…This year's retreat is Feb 20-Feb 25. I am so grateful for each of them and the ways we support and love each other. And also a part of this retreat is a 24 hour period of silence. I would love for you to pray with me during my time of silence. 8am on Wednesday Feb 23 until 8am on Thursday Feb 24.

November 21, 28
December 5, 12
January 2
11:30am-1pm at Saguaro Christian Church
The workshop will focus on healing from loss, not only with regards to the death of a loved one, but perhaps to the disappearance of something else that was cherished. This may be something like a divorce, relationship loss, a failed business venture, or a loss of independence.
