A full day on Saturday with a Deacon’s Retreat at The Close Retreat Center in Mount Victory, Kentucky and the Fifth Sunday After Pentecost with Christ Church Harlan. A full weekend, dreaming, praying, and planning!
Saturday I got to join the Deacon’s Retreat lead by Bishop Mark at The Close, and we all enjoyed the beautiful and serene setting. It was a great place to hold our common work and life in prayer as we try to imagine what the Holy Spirit has in store for this diocese!
It was a joy to be with the people of Christ Church, Harlan. We had a delightful breakfast together, I shared a bit about my work so far as Canon Missioner, and then we spent some time in the gospel text, ruminating on the calling found in the radical, expansive mercy of the Good Samaritan. It was a gift to be with them, and I look forward to coming back, especially because they’ve got their front doors primed and ready for a fresh coat of new red paint!
Come, Holy Spirit, Come!
