Canterbury Retreat & Conference Center, Oveido, FL

REGISTRATION WILL BEGIN ON FEBRUARY 1

Theme: “Be still and know that I am God.” (Psalm 46:10)

Featured Speaker: The Rev. Beth Pessah: Priest, wife, mother and lover of story telling. Beth lives in Ormond Beach with her

husband (The Rev. Steve Pessah) and their two sons.

“Be still, and know that I am God.”

In a world that seems to grow continually busier, the idea being still can seem like an impossible task. Maybe despite the endless to-do list we can find ways, in our hearts and souls to do just that.

During our time together we will explore physical and spiritual stillness and how to find our own sense of calm, to which God calls us. Our theme sessions and workshops will give us tools to find our inner calm in the midst of a busy world.

Along with the workshops, there will be times of fellowship and worship with music led by Clare Toy.

Be still...

...and know that I am God.

Every year around January 1, people start making resolutions, grand plans and promises about all the great things they want to do during the year. Usually a few weeks into the year, they realize they haven’t done anything different at all. Disappointment sets in. Frustration takes over. All the plans and promises crumble.

This year, let’s take a different approach. A few years ago, Pastor Mike Ashcraft wrote a book called My One Word. Instead of long lists of resolutions, he suggests we choose just one word to focus on for the whole year. The idea is to choose one word that represents what you most hope God will do in you during the year.

The word that we have chosen for our Holy Trinity Parish family to focus on this year is “Healing”. Our hope and prayer for 2018 is that God will do great healing in our parish family.

As we experience God’s healing, it will change the condition of our hearts. It will also impact the qualities of the fruit that grows in our parish life. Our joy will be deeper. Our kindness will be more genuine. Our generosity will reach farther. Our faith will be more confident. Change is possible, but focus is required.

As we receive healing we will become healthier. Here are five indicators of a healthy church:

• Healthy churches relate as a family of brothers and sisters in Christ

• Healthy churches have a clear sense of who they are in Christ

• In healthy churches, every member is involved in ministry

• Healthy churches focus on mission that begins in the neighborhood and goes global

• Healthy churches are willing to go where Jesus leads.

Our “one word” focus on healing has led us to choose Jeremiah 17:14 as our Bible verse for the year in 2018:

Heal me, Lord, and I will be healed; save me and I will be saved, for you are the one I praise. Jeremiah 17:14 (NIV)

For 2018, “healing” will be the lens through which we look at every aspect of parish life. Healing is already a key part of who we are as a church. The clergy and people of Holy Trinity regularly pray for healing. There is a healing service with Holy Eucharist every week on Wednesday at 10:30am. On the first Wednesday of the month Fr. Steve offers a time of intercessory prayer and teaching on healing from 9:15am to 10:15am. There is also prayer for healing offered during Holy Communion at the 9 o’clock service every Sunday at the healing altar in the back of the church. Prayer for healing is also part of our Wednesday 5:30 evening worship.

The Daughters of the King offer intercessory prayer. Grief support and spiritual direction are available through trained lay persons and clergy. Regular hospital and nursing home visitation brings healing to many. The Prayer Shawl Ministry literally wraps persons who are sick in prayer. Everyone’s Counseling Center brings healing to those suffering in mind and spirit. Our Health Ministry Team fosters opportunities for teaching and cooperation with clergy, physicians, nurses, counselors and psychologists who have discovered in the Divine Being the source of wholeness.

We believe healing the whole person to be an essential part of the teaching and practice of our Lord Jesus Christ. When we reach out to others with healing prayer we believe that we can be instruments of God’s Healing Power for those sick in body, mind or spirit. This involves the humble realization of our own spiritual nature so that by God’s presence and power, we can enter into contact with deeper sources of life and obtain new health and strength for body as well as for the mind and spirit.

In order to be effective instruments of God’s healing, we need to receive the healing that God wants to give us for our own lives, individually and as a parish family. We invite you to join us on a healing journey of prayer, study and action in 2018.

Epiphany Service

Adult Study on Wednesdays at WCFN:4 weeks beginning January 10, Presented by Fr. Steve, Rev. Pam and Rev. Meghan

“Too Busy NOT to Pray: Slow Down to Be with God”“During our first four months of WCFN I have particularly enjoyed our brief evening worship. Spending a few extra minutes in concentrated prayer each week has had a big impact on my life. I’ve learned that I am simply too busy not to pray.” — Rev. Pam

Join us for this four week series as we discover that even in the midst of our hectic, overscheduled and overwhelmed lives we can all become people who talk to and listen to God.

“You can become a person of prayer… You don’t have to be better or be stronger or be anything, anyone, other than who you are right now, today… All you have to do is decide.” — Pastor Bill Hybels

Health Ministry News, by Rev. Vicky Collins

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” – Jeremiah 29:11Happy New Year! Your Health Ministry Team encourages you to avoid all those dramatic and demanding “lifestyle changes” that we are encouraged to make in this time of year. Instead, we have the opportunity to work prayerfully with God’s help to do those things which will improve our stewardship of our minds, bodies and spirits. Set aside the potentially discouraging exercise of making “RESOLUTIONS” and instead opt for making a Covenant with God to honor His good will for your life in the coming year. We’ll call it:MY PERSONAL HEALTH DECLARATIONHere are some suggestions:MIND: • Learn something new every day• Exercise your mind by solving a puzzle, completing a project, or creating something artistic or decorative BODY:• Establish healthy eating habits, but avoid “fad diets”, expensive “programs” or food sthat you have to force yourself

to eat• Avoid “miracle drugs” and multiple “supplements”. Ask your doctor to advise you on adding any medications• Join an exercise group, yoga group or any type of movement group sponsored by a gym or fitness facility; consider

walking or water aerobics, for example• Buy a basic piece of exercise equipment: stationary bike, rowing machine, etc. if you would prefer to exercise at

home. Check “Play it Again Sports” for used equipmentSPIRIT:• Ask one of the clergy or a spiritual director to assist you in drawing up a Rule of Life that will give you the

opportunity to establish a balance of worship, study, prayer and activity that will help you to grow in knowledge and spiritual growth. Your Rule can be reviewed and amended as often as needed, as God honors and directs you.

• Give priority to common worship and learning opportunities in our area. You will benefit from sharing the experience and insights of fellow Christians. We are called to be in community.

• Be intentional and disciplined in your personal devotions, and support others in their spiritual journey• Make yourself accountable to at least one other person; this will help you “stay on track” and make progress

toward your personal goal of wellness.
