On this retreat day, we will reflect, with the help of the beautiful natural woods and lake setting, on how God calls us to develop an environmentally sensitive spirituality that is rooted in love and appreciation for all living things. Participants will explore how a practice of prayer deepens
one's consciousness of connection, empathy, gratitude, and wonder. Through Bible study, a silent
nature prayer walk on the grounds, and sensitive group sharing, participants will explore how to be more deeply connected to the divine Origin of Creation, the present moment, the global human family, and all living things on the planet. Child care will be provided by Jen Wozniak. There will be special nature-related activities for the children, organized by Amy Caccia. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to call our church office at 782-2650. We look forward
to seeing you at Aldersgate!

Please arrive at 8:30 am SHARP! We will be meeting in the C-Lodge (Winter Lodge).

Your Retreat Organizers,
Revs. Patty and Ron Farr, Amy Caccia

DREAM WORKSHOP #2
"The Journey Continues"
An exciting new Saturday morning
Dream Workshop will be held on Sat.,
May 31st, from 9 a.m. to 12 noon, in
Anderson Hall.
Led by Revs. Patty and Ron, this
workshop will open you to a greater
understanding of the world of dreams.
Learn how God may be nudging you to
deeper growth through the wild, crazy,
silly, and amazing images that rise up in
your mind at night, when your busy
surface mind goes to sleep. You don't
need to have attended the first workshop
in order to come to this one!
You will find that, after learning how to
unlock the meaning of your dreams, you
will begin to see your life and your faith
with entirely new eyes.
Childcare provided. Sign-up sheet on
the Information Table.
