The Ignatian Exercises in Daily Life
Are you seeking to deepen your
relationship with God? The Ignatian
Exercises in Daily Life is a nine month small
group retreat that will give you the
opportunity to practice daily prayer and reflection structured
so as to connect you deeply with Christ. Throughout these 9
months you will deepen your sense of God’s Love for you,
walk with Jesus through his life and death and learn how to
discern God’s call for you now in your present life. Spiritual
Directors Gary Guthrie, Mary Jo Pfeifer Wulf, and Barb Moore
will facilitate the process. Weekly group meetings will occur
on zoom until it is safe to meet face to face. Individual Spiritu-
al Direction is an essential part of the experience as well. The
retreat will be held on Monday evenings beginning mid
September and end mid May. If you feel drawn to this retreat,
please contact Gary Guthrie (515-382-3117 or thecarrot-
[email protected]), Mary Jo Pfeifer Wulf (515-441-6446
or [email protected]), or Barb Moore
(641-757-0798 or [email protected].) for more
information.
Do you love Jesus? Do you want to share this
love with teens and help them know Jesus? Do
you want to help people reach their God-given
potential?
If you said yes to one or all the questions, come learn more
about becoming an Anchor Youth Ministry Leader. Visit our
Leader website: https://www.anchorames.com/leaders.html
or contact Kayla Greiner, Director of Youth Ministry, for more
information at [email protected]. We would love
to have you join our team.
Hear from some of our leaders:
"It is hard to be vulnerable to the young adults, but they
welcome it and appreciate your efforts. Don't let not knowing
all the answers prevent you from leading a group. Take that
leap of faith!"~Tina C.
"Helping to form the youth of our community can be such a
rewarding experience."~Charles M.
Please Remember in your Prayers: Dorothy Sally
May the Lord grant peace and consolation to
her family in their time of need. May she, and
all who sleep in Christ, find God’s presence,
light, happiness, and peace.
