Candidacy Retreat

 Last Friday and Saturday, I was honored to retreat with 34 candidates for ministry from our state of Indiana!  Amazingly diverse group of ages, stages, ethnic backgrounds, lifestyles and gifts for ministry.  WOW!

This stained glass was on the door welcoming retreatants to worship.
 The woman at the well (from Gospel of John) goes and tells everyone she meets about Jesus, the Messiah.  Her generosity makes me consider her one of the early evangelists.

This tapestry hangs in the stairwell at the Benedict Inn Retreat and Conference Center... notice the outpouring from her container seems endless and too much for what 'should' fit within her vessel.
This cross and the branches surrounding it was backlit with so much light that you cannot see the word: Alleluia written in gold letters on the cross.

Beautiful!  Just like these amazing servants of Christ willing and able to answer the call of God upon their lives!
