“Be still and know that I am God” Psalm 46:10
At the heart of pastoral ministry is the call to embody and live out the Good News of God’s gracious love for all, made known to us through Jesus the Christ.
Jim is a licensed Marriage and This retreat will provide: 1) Contemplative Spiritual Practices (CSP) to facilitate connection with the Divine Presence within, among and beyond us,
We live in a rapidly changing and challenging world in which remaining true to and anchored in our calling is often tested. Contemplative Spiritual Practices create within us a space of openness and receptivity which allows the Divine Spirit to act to renew and transform our bodies, minds and hearts. In turn, we become conduits for the Spirit’s work in our daily life and relationships.
