Trinity Tidbits--Week of Epiphany 2
|
|
Christ is born, and we behold his glory! It was a wonderful time to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, and I am so thankful for all who helped make these festivals so wonderful.
For those who are looking to grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ, I invite you to join me this coming Sunday morning at 9:30 for a conversation about deepening your spiritual life through intentional gatherings of like-minded people. Several of us met last Sunday for a very productive conversation, and I look forward to the conversation this Sunday.
On another note, I encourage you to turn in your pledge cards if you have not already. More than just meeting a planned budget, this can be an act of worship, returning to the service of God those gifts God has blessed you with. If you need a pledge card, come by the office.
Peace,
Chris

Wild Lent: A Retreat for Women and Men, March 24-26
All women & men of the Diocese are invited to a time for quiet
reflection, fellowship, and sharing time in the beauty of the Big Bend area of our Diocese.
Bishop Michael Vono, the Rev. Paul Moore, and others will share reflections on Matthew 4 during Wild Lent on March 24-26, 2017 in Alpine, TX. This event is an invitation to look at the socio- and eco-logical issues of our ministries in light of Jesus' time in the wilderness, and consider how we can make a difference where we are.
There is an optional Big Bend National Park tour on Friday morning. We'll carpool through part of the Big Bend National Park (entry fees apply) for a time of quiet reflection in landscape very similar to the Judean wilderness. This will offer an inspirational introduction to the weekend's talks. Afterward, we will join the retreat leadership and members of local communities for sharing worship and conversations about how we can find common ground and work together for the good of all.
The main part of the retreat begins March 24 at St. James' Church in Alpine with dinner at 6PM. The first presentation will follow. The retreat concludes after Sunday services on March 26. Retreat registration is $25, which covers lunch and dinner on Friday and Saturday. Registration info is available on the Women's Ministry website (
www.VarietiesOfGifts.blogspot.com) or you can register online at
www.WildLent.eventsbot.com. This retreat is sponsored by the Women of the Diocese and the Brotherhood of St. Andrew. A brochure is downloadable from the Women's Ministry website or at:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4P9SzRkJXCpY0k1REN5OFJjS28/view
Blocks of rooms have been reserved for March 23-26 at the Hampton Inn and at the historic Holland Hotel in Alpine, TX with special rates good through mid-February 2017. You are advised to reserve your room early! (Mention Diocesan Lent Retreat or Cindy Davis when making reservations.)
Looking forward to seeing women and men of all ages and from all corners of the diocese at this event. We know it's a long drive for some of us, but it is worth it in the inspiration you will gain from the beauty and speakers. Contact Cindy Davis (
[email protected]) if you have questions.
