The Women's Retreat -
Come to me, all you that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you
rest. (Matthew 11:28) In the midst of our lives, in a world that seems to be spinning out of control, God speaks a word to center us in truth and that word is “Be still and know I am with you.” The more we become aware of Christ as our friend and redeemer, the more we will feel relief from useless worry. He will lift the weight of distress from us. |

A Day for Caretakers Caring for a loved one can be a rewarding fulfillment of God's call in our lives. However, it is critical to approach caretaking with balance, or we run the risk of experiencing "compassion fatigue," which can include stress, exhaustion, and depression. Drawing from Christian psychology, we will focus on how caretakers can better care for themselves and be sensitive to their own limits while remaining faithful to God's call. |
