Trinity Tidbits--Week of Epiphany 7
|
|
In this busy world, it is easy to forget about developing your spirituality. One of the easiest methods I know of to begin thinking more deeply about your spirituality and your daily life is to do the 'Three Questions.' They are as follows: 1)Where have I done good? 2) Where have I done harm? 3)Where have I seen God? This is an easy inventory to evaluate your spiritual life at the end of the day. I encourage you to use it and see how God opens up your heart to new avenues of holiness and a deeper relationship with God.
Peace,
Chris

DIOCESE OF THE RIO GRANDE
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.
