ENGAGE! What does this word immediately bring to your mind? Are you reminded of a young couple becoming engaged to marry? Perhaps engaging with a friend in a conversation? Or, perhaps engaging an engine to begin a vehicle rolling on a journey?
Whatever image comes to mind, it is not a passive image. To engage is to become involved in something active. You cannot engage from a passive posture.
ENGAGE 2013 is a new beginning. Our focus this year is on equipping attendees to more effectively ENGAGE our culture in the discussions that matter most. Issues such as what is a Christian worldview? How does a Christian worldview contrast with the worldview of our culture? Do our daily actions agree with what we say we believe? How should we view our culture? What does it mean that we no longer view anyone from a worldly point of view?
Come join us as we begin a new journey to explore these issues. ENGAGE!

St. Bernard Retreat Center
1600 Saint Bernard Drive SE
Cullman, AL 35055
I would like to invite all of you to attend our 2013 fall retreat at the St. Bernard Abbey Retreat and Conference Center in Cullman. This retreat center is truly a wonderful place to relax and enjoy some time as “Girlfriends!”
Our theme for the weekend will be God – Our All in All. Acts 17:28 tells us that “in him we live and move and have our being.” We are his children, and have the wonderful blessing of a close and personal relationship with the great God of the universe! This year our guest speakers are Tammy Tkach, Ginny Rice, Pat Halford, Becki Brown, and Barbara Dahlgren. Ann Hartmann will be our guest singer again this year! You can go to Ann’s website (annhartmann.com) to learn more about Ann’s music and ministry. We also look forward to another time of special music when Mary Jo Leaver shares her “Music to the Eyes” ministry. Becki Brown is the daughter of Pat Halford, so this year we have the very special treat of hearing from a mother and daughter!
We hope you will help spread the word to others who might enjoy the weekend. If you have questions or need more information, contact me at (205) 663-7979 (home), (205) 540-1515 (cell) or email ruth.miller@gci.org.
Please fill out the registration form and return it by July 30th to the address listed at the bottom of the form. This is important, because the retreat center is such a popular place and stays heavily booked. They need us to secure the number of rooms we’ll need ASAP! Later registrations will be accepted if space is available.
You can choose to send your payment in full, or send a $25 deposit. If you send only the deposit, please send the balance no later than September 30th.
I’m looking forward to sharing this weekend with you in October!
With love,
Ruth Miller

Pine Lake Retreat Center, Groveland, FL (Orlando area)
Are you in need of a time to get away for rest and spiritual renewal?
Experiencing the Trinity is a unique opportunity for pastors, ministry leaders, and members to be refreshed, rejuvenated, and spiritually renewed by means of a focused encounter with our triune God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Through periods of solitude, prayer, meditation, communion, fellowship, and other spiritual formation activities, you will have the opportunity to come to know God more intimately, and to experience his presence in your life in deeper ways. Taking a special time to commune with God through these activities in a relaxed and natural environment is an opportunity to receive healing and strengthening in your soul that will inspire you for greater service in the ministry of Jesus Christ.
This retreat may be experienced for academic credit through Grace Communion Seminary. For more information see www.gcs.edu
