Fw: THE PRACTICE OF RETREAT Monday, October3, 6:00 pm Chicago Time
We are starting into a series of Mondays looking into RECOVERING ABUNDANCE: 12 practices for small-town (ordinary) leaders. You can browse and buy the book here https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/58778793-recovering-abundanceand it is also available on Amazon, Walmart and at Fortress Press in paperback and Kindle editions. A week ago, 15 of us gathered on Zoom to look at the Introduction (click here) and the overall contents of the book. We decided to continue, with different people offering to guide us on different practices. We're gathering at 6:00 pm (Central time) on Mondays starting on October 3. We'll meet via Zoom for an hour and a half or so. Interested? Join us. We'll do a bit of a reprise to get the big picture. Then we will dive into Ch. 1: The Practice of Retreat. Ruth Gilbert is our guide. The author, Andy Stanton-Henry, will be with us again.

Mark 6:31 Have you ever been so caught up in "coming and going" that you didn't have "leisure even to eat"? Sometimes, though, our weariness has nothing to do with manual labor. It has to do with the emotional labor . . .Ordinary leaders have all manner of "lavbors of love" that occupy their minds, break their harts and demand their energy. C. S.
