Do you see yourself in the following?:
1. “I spend my days and nights giving and organizing and leading but can barely come up for breath.”
2. “I retreat to the quiet of a private devotional life but have set outreach aside.”
3. “I don’t pay much attention to my spiritual life or Jesus’ commission.”
If one of these statements could be yours, then the Elgin District United Methodist Women (UMW) Day of Spiritual Renewal on Saturday, April 18th at Calvary United Methodist Church, Villa Park, could be for you (you need not be a member of a UMW group – this event is open to all). We’ll begin the day at 8:30am with a light breakfast and conclude at 2:30pm. The program will be presented by Rev. Young-Mee Park, DeKalb District Superintendent. Her presentation focuses on four verbs: pray, learn, mentor, and transform –not to add more responsibilities that weigh on your shoulders, but instead to restore, revive, and revitalize. Registration forms are available here; cost is $15 (includes continental breakfast and lunch) and RSVP’s are due on April 9.
