Clergy Spouses RetreatFor clergy spouses, widows and widowers - Thursday, May 2, 2024 Embrace your SeasonUnderstanding God’s Design for our FlourishingLet's journey together to understand the boundaries and limitations of our seasons and stages as followers of Jesus. It's natural to experience change and face challenges in life, but gaining a deeper understanding of God's design and intention for these seasons can help us embrace our current stage of life with grace and peace. Identifying the season we are in or facing can be difficult, but it can also help us draw closer to Christ and rely more fully on Him. No matter our age, call or capacity, we all experience times when a season of surrender is necessary for our soul's well-being. Let's discover how to support each other through each season and embrace them with the love and kindness that Jesus has for us. Brochure | RegisterIf you have questions, please contact Elinor Joyce at 506-566-6808 or eewjoyce at gmail.com; or speak to Val Phinney or Anna Caines.
