Not to late for Clergy Wives Retreat

It’s not too late to register for the Clergy Wives Retreat to be held at Christ the King Spiritual Life Center May 3-5, 2019! Our guest speakers (from our companion diocese of Down and Dromore), Hilary McClay and Glynnis Matchett (Pictured below left to right), have prayerfully been preparing to lead us in a presentation themed “For such a time as this . . .” How can we make our lives count, and walk in the ways that God has prepared for us? How do we tune our hearts and our lives to follow the leading of the King of Kings? During the retreat we will be reflecting on what we learn from the stories of key people in both the Old and New Testaments who trained themselves to listen and respond to the voice of God and act on what they heard and saw the Father doing. Come find joy, renewal, praise and worship in fellowship with Christ and your fellow clergy wives! Please let Margaret Haskell know whether or not you plan to come by emailing her at [email protected] , then follow up by returning your RSVP and payment to the Diocesan Office by April 29, 2019.
