THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK

_________________________________________

 

You have it easily in your power to increase the sum total of this world's happiness now.

How? By giving a few words of sincere appreciation to someone who is lonely or discouraged. Perhaps you will forget tomorrow the kind words you say today,

but the recipient may cherish them over a lifetime.

-       Dale Carnegie

Consider pausing with the Grace Place family this summer...

 

Grace Place, in coordination with the North and South Wisconsin Districts, Thrivent Financial for Lutherans and Heartwood Retreat Center with additional underwriting from The LCMS Office of National Mission, is announcing a wonderful opportunity for Lutheran Church Worker Couples to Be Well and Serve Well.

This Monday afternoon to Friday noon continuing education event focuses on skills and attitudes to keep you healthy in body, mind, spirit and finances.  It is anchored around four "pause points" to be in God's Word each day, daily exercise, adventure activities and free time each afternoon, and wonderful, nutritious food and fellowship.

 

Leaders include Rev. Dr. Darrell Zimmerman, Grace Place Director of Programs, and Rev. Dr. Todd and Heather Biermann, Senior Pastor, Faith Lutheran in Grand Blanc, MI.

  

Each participant and each participant's congregation receives $50 for participating in this retreat if a member of CPS.
