As we talk about joy on Sunday, we want to cultivate practices that allow us to reflect on how we have been experiencing joy (or lack thereof) lately. One way to do that is being silent before God and reflecting through scripture, journaling, and prayer. On May 13th from 9:30 to 12:30, come join Sam Butler and other ECVers at Mercy By the Sea (167 Neck Rd. Madison, CT 06443-0191) for a silent retreat on joy. E-mail Sam (butler.samantha.nicole@gmail.com) for more details.
