Friends’ Spirit Renewed

Mike Green — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 21:07:12 +0000

Thirty-five Friends, each a graduate of one of SotS' programs dating back to 1991, gathered Nov. 10-13 to have their spirit renewed, their ministries regrounded, and friendships made anew. Through Jeremiah's lamentations, Lloyd Lee Wilson led us through the meaning and implications of our covenant with God, of our covenant with our faith communities, and of these communities' covenant with God. In being brought before God, we were each fed. The next Spiritual Renewal Retreat is tentatively scheduled for Nov. 21-24, 2013.
