SCHEDULE FOR PITTSBURGH

Come Home: An Invitation to Rest in God
(Pre Convention Special Events)
Oct 30 1:00 PM-9:00 PM
Pittsburgh

We get lost in ministry. We get overwhelmed by the tasks, the worry, the relationships and lose touch with the God who called us. Meister Eckhart once wrote, "God's at home, we're the one's who go out wandering." This eight hour retreat is about returning home to the One who loves us. It's about remembering that before we are ministers, we are disciples, followers of Jesus, people in need of the love and mercy of God. Through prayer, silence, music conversation, and a variety of spiritual exercises we'll seek to encounter the One who is home, even in the midst of a lost and confused world. Spend eight hours exploring your relationship with God. Grapple honestly with the challenges of practicing the presence of God in the midst of current cultural realities Explore ways of incorporating, prayer, solitude and silence into your life and ministry.

Enjoy the Silence: Wholly Listening to God
(Seminar Series #4)
Nov 2 1:30 PM-3:00 PM
Pittsburgh

What would it mean for you to stop—come away—and begin reading the Scriptures from the inside out? Come and learn the story and the practice of lectio divina, a basic spiritual discipline practiced by some people you may have heard of—Dallas Willard, Richard Foster, and Eugene Peterson—as well as some other people you may not have heard of—John of the Cross, Anthony of the Desert, and Julian of Norwich. This seminar will help you learn how to pray the Scriptures, an ancient practice that can deepen your own intimacy with God.
