After a beautiful and profound ending of “the old year” with a deep and very profound “Celebrating the Christ within Retreat” I feel the promise that each moment holds out to us so deeply: The Atonement – the end of sin, guilt, fear and separation.
“We come together to support one another, to be witnesses of love and non-judgment.
We come together for forgiveness. In releasing one another we are freed. In forgiving one another we are forgiven, and in loving one another we are loved.
May our joining be a symbol of the commitment we are making to this highest Calling. We come together only to serve Him who sent us. We are here only to be truly helpful and to fulfill the commitment we are making to our Father in Heaven, that we may remember our True Identity as a Child of God.
In God we are Joined, and what God has brought together can never be separated.
In Love All Is One.” (David Hoffmeister)
There is a love that calls me by the name – Sure as the sun the moon the stars remain
Your love for me will never change – Jesus, your love – Jesus, your love
There is a love that takes me by the hand – Guiding my heart to find it’s home again
And where you are is home to me – Jesus, your love – Jesus, your love
So let my heart tell you again – When seasons change and stories end
Your steady love – It will sustain me through it all
Jesus, your love – Jesus, your love
There is a peace that stays – Though storms may come
I hear your voice within the winds that blow -I hear your song, it calls to me
Jesus, your love – Jesus, your love
There is a strength that rises up in me – To know that you’ve been here before me
A strength beyond what I can see – Jesus, your love – Jesus, your love
