Shepherd's Gate Inn: Rest ministries
Is your life full of busyness and noise? Is God calling you to be still? At REST Ministries, we have created a sacred space at our retreat facility Shepherd’s Gate Inn, for you to exhale from fast-paced living and breathe deep the breath of God. Our spiritual retreats are a time of strategic withdrawal, allowing God to replenish your parched soul.
Sabbatical: Lilly Grant
National and Indiana Clergy Renewal Programs provide an opportunity for pastors to step away briefly from the persistent obligations of daily parish life and engage in a period of renewal and reflection. Renewal periods are not vacations but times for intentional exploration and reflection, for drinking again from God’s life-giving waters, for regaining enthusiasm and creativity for ministry.
GLGA Interviews D.I.V.E
One of the questions that we got after the last GLGA meeting was about directly sharing the Gospel and if/how we could start to do that in our schools. Well, we found a group of churches in New Castle Indiana and now in Richmond that have done just that and their program is called D.I.V.E. at School. They have been asked to start programs in EVERY public school in the city and now are being asked to come into the county schools. D.I.V.E. stands for Discovering Important Values for Eternity… And it is a 5 year curriculum that a team from churches work together and go in right after school for 1 hour and share THE GOSPEL for 18 weeks.
GLGA Survey
We know that there have been quite a few changes over the past few months at GLGA and there will most likely be more to come but we were wondering if you could give us some feedback so far.
We warmly invite you to join us for a powerful time of prayer and unity at the "One Church United" gathering. As we approach the upcoming election, it's crucial that we come together as a community to seek guidance and wisdom.
