Practicing God’s Presence

leader retreat

As a ministry leader, “presence” means so much!

Our fruitful, ready presence among those we serve is grounded and energized in God’s Presence.

In this leaders retreat we continue an occasional series that unpacks treasures from the past. The simple, profound witness of a 17th century lay brother, Brother Lawrence, offers a way for leaders to live and serve from a growing place of inner wellbeing.

“A little lifting up of the heart suffices, a little remembrance, one act of worship… God requires no great matters of us… He is nearer than we think!” Brother Lawrence

For the Christian leader, God’s presence in each moment is the happy place.

 

The retreat will be structured around brief leader reflections, along with time to be alone, reflect, rest, hear from God, share, and just experience God’s care.
