About the only way in which men can effectively express their love for God is through service to the children of God, to men.
Event
Kickstart Chapel
Jessica Coleman is the new Director of Recruitment at Roberts Wesleyan University and shared her testimony last month with the Roberts students. Consider how God uses our stories to impact others and point them to Him. We are grateful for people like Jessica who are willing to be vulnerable and share her story.
Retreat
Reflections
Take a moment this weekend to prioritize quiet time for yourself & God. Here are a couple of ways you can participate in a retreat.
1. Visit a Roman Catholic/Eastern Orthodox/ecumenically Christian monastery or retreat center. They are peaceful and serene. Staying at a monastery is very affordable - usually under $100 a night (if they have overnight guests). You don't have to go overnight; you can go there for several hours. Here are some websites that list the locations of monasteries throughout the U.S. and Canada. If you do not live in the U.S. or Canada, please look up your closest Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, or ecumenically Christian monastery/retreat center. Here are a few helpful links:
-
Genesee Retreat (Local to the Rochester, NY area and where Henri Nouwen stayed for a while.)
2. Declutter your home and life. Start with one area.
3. Go on a leisurely walk.
4. Pilgrimage: go to a place that is spiritually significant for you.
5. Spend at least one hour in nature.
6. Take a nap in your home.
