“Come away to pray.” Just as Jesus’ disciples needed a reminder to take time away from their normal routine for the re-creation of prayer, so, too, the rostered leadership of the New England Synod need such a reminder. This fall, the Continuing Theological Education Committee offers Pastors, Associates in Ministry, Diaconal Ministers, Deaconesses and Professional Churchworkers a chance to retreat from the hectic pace of congregational life. |
