Today our church staff and a couple of our lay elders are heading to Washington, D.C. and the National Cathedral. Our purpose is to get away from the pressing demands of our ministry schedule for some quiet time with God. The National Cathedral with its beautiful chapels and gardens, supplies a wonderful venue for the spiritual practices of silence and solitude. And in our busy world, silence and solitude is something all of us must make time for! Vance Havner, a well known and appreciated evangelist of yesteryear said it well when he said we Christians "need to come apart lest we come apart!" My prayer for me, our staff and elders is that we will grow in our love for God as a result of our time away with Him ... and bond even more deeply with each other.
Thanks for stopping by . . .
