The Diocesan Retreat Committee

An Invitation ...

"Be still and know that I am God ... "

Psalm 46:10

The Diocesan Retreat Committee (DRC) invites you to take time to be still and know God at one of our silent Lenten or Advent retreats.

	Attune yourself to the gentle rhythm of personal prayer as we pray the daily offices in community
	Enrich your spirit with a series of mediations offered by one of our guest retreat directors
	Enjoy time and space for private reflection and prayer
	Nourish your body and soul as we break bread together in silence
	Cultivate your sense of communion with God with opportunities for Holy Eucharist and confession.

Serve as a treasurer trainee. The duties for this financial volunteer include processing funds for 2 retreats annually and scholarship fund, as well as analyze and advise on costs, and develop the budget.
Serve as general committee members as we explore creative ways in which to expand the offerings and service to the Diocese. Representation from members outside the beltway is particularly needed.

Silence is the place where the Spirit is made known to us, where we find rest and renewal for our weary souls.

Silence...

Silence leads us away from the activity of this world
and draws us into the heart of God.
Silence drowns out the noise of phones and faxes
and allows us to hear the still small voice of God
Silence is the place where the Spirit is made known to us.
Silence is where we find rest and renewal for weary souls.
