A few weeks ago, the priest at our neighborhood Anglican Church sent out an email about a one-day Ottawa-wide church conference called You Are Leaven. I signed up to go.
I didn't know what to expect... but it "called my name"! I knew I needed this!
So out we drove into the country one Saturday, a few weeks ago... to a little church in Winchester, Ontario.
(As an aside, for those who know the name, Winchester is the hometown of George Beverly Shea - a singer of my mother's generation. Throughout his lifetime he returned to a cottage in the area.)
The day's program was organized and led by instructors from the Anglican Studies Department at St. Paul University in Ottawa - where Terry studied counseling when we first moved to Ottawa.
The day was wonderful! There was art... ("doodling prayer")... Singing... Great food... An introduction to writing a "spiritual autobiography." Also an interesting discussion on change, and why it's sometimes hard.
Sometimes - especially in winter - I need to do something totally different... This was just what I needed! A week later, I was still basking in the glow!
