“…come away by yourselves to a lonely place and rest awhile.” MARK 6:31
Do you spend time, every day, alone and in silence listening to how God is calling you? If not, you are missing out on a wonderful opportunity to develop a more personal relationship with Him. Unless we talk and more importantly, listen to God every day, how else will we know how He is calling us? Consider mak-ing a retreat this year, spend some ―alone‖ time with God.

Office will be Closed Mondays & Fridays until Labor Day.
