Absolutely anyone who is discerning anything in life is welcome to attend: lay people\, ordained people\, people who are currently in diocesan discernment\, people who are discerning anything within our without the church… \nWhat: Do you have a big question in life that you are thinking about and wondering what God would have you do? A question like: \n\nShould I retire?\nShould I go back to school?\nShould I try this ministry?\nShould I start my own business?\nWhere should I volunteer my time?\n\nThese questions and more are invitations to explore your relationship with God\, yourself\, and others more deeply and this one-day retreat will give you resources to do just that. \nJoin other discerners across the Diocese to learn: \n\nThe Foundations of Discernment\n\n\n\n\nWhat is discernment?\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow do I know this is the voice of God?\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBible study\n\n\n\n\nTools for Discernment\n\n\n\n\nWhy do we need individual and communal discernment?\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA panel discussion with Bishop LaBelle and others about discernment\n\n\n\n\n\n\nResources for discernment and where to find them\n\n\n\nWe will close with a Commissioning for Discernment Prayer Service with anointing. Attendees are invited to read two books in preparation for the retreat: The Dream of God: A Call to Return\, by Verna Dozier (Seabury\, 1991); and Let Your Life Speak: Listening for the Voice of Vocation\, by Parker Palmer (John Wiley & Sons\, 2000) \nNote: This is an in-person gathering and will not be online or hybrid. There will be another one of these retreats in the autumn in a different location in the Diocese. \nInterested in attending? Please click here and complete the registration form. \nQuestions?
