Second Education for Ministry Group to Begin Fall 2008.
Ms. Jane Lee, a certified EFM mentor will facilitate an evening EFM group beginning in the Fall of 2008. You can learn more about EFM at
http://www.sewanee.edu/EFM/index.htm
. The EFM program runs the entire academic year (34 weeks). Materials cost about $340. If you are interested in this program - which incidentally is about the best course of study in Bible, Theology, and Ministry outside of seminary - please contact the church office at 601-544-5551. Only 10 seats are available.
HOLY LEISURE a silent retreat with special guidance from licensed Spiritual Directors March 28 -30, May 2-4, August 8-10, & November 7-9. Maybe it's a reaction to our hectic, media-driven new century, or perhaps it's just the logical progression for those who seek a life in Christ. Whatever the reason, our HOLY LEISURE silent retreats are attracting seekers of all ages. Be still, and know that I am God (Psalm 46:10) reminds us of the importance of quieting our minds and calming our spirits in order to hear God's presence in our lives. Under the guidance of licensed trained Spiritual Directors, participants will be given spiritual tools that will allow the "ambient noise" of our lives to diminish and be fully present with God. For registration information please contact The Rev. Debo Dykes, debo@dioms.org, or 601-948-5954.
Open dates for 2008 Altar Flower memorials are:
June 29 |
October 5 |
July 13 |
November 2 |
September 14 & 21 |
