Heartland District Fall Clergy Retreat Scheduled
October 3-4
"Needful Things: The Art & Practice of Contemplative Leadership"
Led by Rev. Jerry Toshalis
Cost: $50
Heartland
District Fall Clergy Retreat will be held at St. Francis Retreat Center
in DeWitt on October 3-4. Take some time away with clergy
colleagues to reflect on leadership in the church. Using an
experiential learning model, Jerry will help us to integrate theological
understanding, personal journey, psychological theory, and professional
application to the art and practice of pastoral leadership.
We will gather at St. Francis at 4:00 pm on Monday, have dinner
together, then spend 90 minutes getting oriented.
The rest of the evening can be spent in the solitude of your
room, or in the main lounge visiting with friends. A movie may
even be possible! Tuesday
breakfast and lunch are included as we continue learning and growing
together. The retreat will end no later than 4:00 pm. The
cost is being underwritten by the district, but further scholarships are
available if needed - just ask.
Registration forms are due no later than September 23rd.
We cannot add participants after this date!
1 CEU will be provided for those who participate.
