In late April at the Women's Retreat, surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of God's creation, we began a conversation about rest. We hope you left our weekend together feeling hopeful of the invitation to keep company with Jesus. He offers us Himself and in that, He offers us rest. Real rest. The unforced rhythms of grace. Life that can be lived freely and lightly.
From now until next spring, we want to keep this conversation going. We want to be women that keep company with Jesus. Our culture is so noisy and busy that we think it takes intentionality to push against that and create a new rhythm. A rhythm of pause and a continual coming to Jesus...to anchor there and make Him our home. So over the next 10 months, we intend for En Route to be a time and space for us to cultivate together rhythms of rest. We are excited about all we have planned for the next year!
To kick things off, we will have our first En Route for this new season, Wednesday evening, July 17th. It is going to be a fun one! Jenn Jamsky and the women of Improv Charlotte are going to be performing for us, so it will be an evening of a lot of laughter. Afterwards we will have a game night (probably pictionary-telephone, a retreat classic) providing more opportunity for laughter and connection with one another. This will be a great opportunity to invite a friend to experience community. Our gathering will be in the coffee room at Warehouse 242, and childcare will be available upon request. Mark it on your calendar now!
