Dear Friend,
It was wonderful to be with you for our final retreat and to know we finished well together. Your testimonies about all the Lord has done in and through this journey mean more than we can say. I am writing today with a few words of encouragement and some important information about how we can stay connected.
First of all, know that we are praying for you as you continue to reflect on your rule of life/sacred rhythms and listen for how God is inviting you to arrange your life for what you say you really want. Our prayer is that you will be able to "trust in the slow work of God" as you spend this quarter reading, reflecting, and crafting a life-giving way of life in God.
We know endings are hard AND here are some great ways to stay connected:
- Join TC18! If you would like to continue in your quarterly retreat rhythm in community with us, we'd be thrilled for you to be a part of TC18. Click here to fill out and submit a short application for alumni with no application fee!
- Alumni Directory. Click here to view and be listed on our Alumni Connection page. The purpose is to help our alumni around the country (and around the world!) connect with each other in their geographical location.
- Spiritual Direction. If you are seeking a spiritual director to meet with regularly, we provide a list of spiritual directors who are TC alumni and have also completed spiritual direction training. Additionally, if you are a trained spiritual director, please consider if you would like to be listed on our page. Click here.
- Complete your readings and final paper. October 9th is the date for submitting your reflection paper which includes your rule of life to TC15papers@transformingcenter.org.
- Becoming a Transforming Church retreat. Many of you indicated you are planning to attend the Becoming a Transforming Church retreat November 1-3, 2021. There are quantity disocunts listed on the website for those of you who are planning to bring your team to our location or to host them virtually.
- As an alum, you are always welcome to join us for any single retreat--if you just need a retreat or if there is a topic you would like to revisit.
It's been a wonderful journey with you and I'm hoping we continue!
Blessings,
Ruth
