DISCOVER & LIVE YOUR CALLING
RETREAT

Ready for a “time out” from your daily to-do list
to discover how to find and fulfill your mission in life?
Saturday, March 28 from 9:30-4:30
The Howell Conference and Nature Center provides the perfect setting to take a fresh look at your gifts, dreams, and God-given calling. Whether you’re in your 20s, 30s, midlife, or the retirement years, this one-day retreat is for you if: You sense the need for something new in your life, but don’t know where to begin; You are tired of your routine life, and want to do something meaningful and exciting; You want to take your life, goals, and dreams to the next level; You want to know who God has designed you to be, and what He is calling you to do!
Life is short. At the end of life, one of people’s greatest regrets is missing out on discovering and pursuing their dreams because of fear or busyness. The actions you take today will ensure you don’t end up wondering who you could have become and what you could have done with your life. Don’t let anything get in the way of pursuing the life God designed you to live!
This day-long retreat can be a time God uses to speak to you in new ways. You can: Identify your strengths, gifts, and unique design; Discover or revitalize your dreams; Experience being encouraged, energized, and equipped to use your gifts; Discern ways in which God is working in your life right now; Overcome fears and other “calling blockers” that hinder realizing your dreams; Develop a do-able action plan to make desired changes in your life; Find and begin fulfilling your unique mission in life.

Great Movie Recommendation

Hi All

Friday Carol, a dear friend of mine suggested we see the movie Fireproof.
It was a good christian based movie with a solid message for marriages in trouble.
I think this is a positive message for all of us.
I suggest all couples who are about to get married see this movie.
I will buy this movie for our church library when it comes out.
It has a message that fits with our churches "Year of Discipleship" theme.

God Bless you all.

The Prayer Labyrinth we built at the Howell Nature Center has been
dedicated. Be sure to visit this peaceful, meditative setting for a walk
and talk with our God.
