Kuell Hinson Inductive Bible Study - Room 209
Led by Chuck Parks

As we review our busy lives, it seems impossible to add anything more.  Yet we recognize a yearning to grow in our knowledge of God and His Son, Jesus, and a desire to make our lives count for something ultimately.  An avenue for accomplishing this is to get attached to a Bible study and see what God’s word says to you.  This is a lively study designed for discussion, questions, and sharing using the Sunday Lectionary readings.  Please, come visit and see if it is helpful for you.

Spiritual Retreats At Camp Weed

Camp Weed is our Diocesan camp located outside of Live Oak, an hour north of Gainesville.  During the Summer it provides the children and youth of our Diocese with an excellent Christian camp experience.  Please speak with Garcia Barnswell for more information.  During the remainder of the year it hosts spiritual retreat weekends for children, youth and adults.

Cursillo is a three day retreat which brings together a diverse group to share the richness of worship and broaden one’s appreciation for our Church. Lay people conduct the weekend with two or three clergy members functioning as spiritual advisors. Cursillo strives to enrich and deepen your faith and to foster ministry among lay people.

For more information you can visit the national website: www.episcopalcursillo.org and to learn about Cursillo in this area, contact Janice Hamilton (812-4021).
