Joining the Conversation with One Another and with God

Talk by Rev. Carol Kelly,  March 21, 2015 ~ 7:30 -9October2013PortlandBranchNewsletter pm

at Camp New Hope, Chapel Hill, NC.

We are becoming more and more isolated even as we are becoming individual “works of art.” Human beings are like “stained glass windows” each one working to create a unique piece, and no matter how beautiful , every one needs the light in order to be revealed. The light of conversation is “more precious than gold” according to Goethe, and yet, it is becoming increasingly difficult to find the way to another human being. Finding the love within, finding the first words, finding the other person, weaves us into the universal ongoing conversation that is always in creation with God.

Easter Retreat – Life with Christ

The subject for this Easter Retreat will be “Life with Christ.” This will be a shared retreat of the DC and NC communities, so all are welcome. The dates: Evening Thursday April 30th – May 3rd. There will be services morning and night, talks, singing, artistic work and plenty of time for contemplation and conversation. The grounds of Abrams Creek will be particularly beautiful in this spring season so bring clothes for hiking, campfires and rustic living.

The Location:celtic_cross

Abrams Creek Center
166 Abrams Creek Dr.
Mt. Storm, WV 26739

Cost: $250/person, includes food. We will cook and clean up after ourselves, but we will have people with us to make sure all goes well in the kitchen. We do this to keep the cost low and to provide informal time to cooperate and share common tasks in which we can embody life with Christ… If you need a sliding scale on the retreat costs or would like to reserve a place, please contact Diana Haynes: 919-768-3969
