2012 Theme
EVERYDAY GOD - In Whom We Live and Move

and Have Our Being

 

Our God is an Everyday God!  God moves in our daily routine in order to give us joy, insights, comfort, and challenge.    During our retreat we will look at the ordinary things of life that speak profoundly of God’s steadfast love.

 

Our weekend begins with the God of Homecoming.  We know what it is like to come home, don’t we?  We like to get comfortable, sit back in a favorite easy chair or share a meal and conversation with those close to us and God is there.   

 

Saturday morning we will spend time with the God of the Morning Cup of Coffee.  While we sit at the breakfast table, in our comfortable chair or perhaps even in our car on the way to work we enjoy our first taste of the day and perhaps we dream or ponder or plan and God is there. 

 

Saturday afternoon we meet the God of the Car Keys.  God is immersed in our daily activities, offering insights and cautions, moments of laughter and opportunities for compassion.  We all know what it means to be on-the-go and God is right there too.  

 

Although we may not realize it at times God is also in the Broken Places of our lives.  In these human moments God wants to heal the fractured places of our lives.  In our sacrament of Liberation God is there.

 

Sunday morning we will encounter the God of the Second Fire.  This is the God of service, the God who calls us to be the fire of His love to those who are in need.  In our everyday outpouring of love to the neighbor God will always be there.    

We live and move and have our being because our God is faithful.  Join us on retreat this year as we explore how God makes the everyday places and spaces of our lives sacred.  (*days shift for mid-week and Holy Week retreats)
