Then, because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat, he said to them, 'Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.'" -Mark 6:31 (NIV) |
"Be still, and know that I am God."
Jesus seemed to minister nonstop and with limitless energy. Yet he still made it a priority to spend time alone with his Father in solitude. His model should be our model. But amid the demands of everyday life, who can find the time? Come spend a "Quiet Day" with God at The Sanctuary at Woodville. Spend time in the presence of God and experience him in ways old and new: sit and rest in the stillness, contemplate scripture and sacred art, talk and listen to your Creator in prayer, sing or play an instrument in worship, escape into God's creation and take a walk in nature, hike the trails, kayak or canoe at Lake Whitehall. Whether you're an individual seeking to go deeper in your faith, a group looking to experience God together, or a pastor or ministry leader in need of replenishment, a "Quiet Day" is an invitation to let the Spirit tend to your soul. Once you have scheduled your Quiet Day, a Sanctuary staff member will greet and pray with you. Lunch is available for individuals and groups and refreshments will be provided. |
What is a Quiet Day experience like? Hear from others...
I can testify to this as a ministry leader. The tasks are so many it’s hard to imagine how they will get done without constant efforts. As I grappled with this and the Sabbath, I learned that actually science, too, says we need rest and that without it we are less productive. I realized I was not trusting God with my time!" – Bill Coolbaugh, Director at Boston International Student Ministries
What a great time I had spending time in the Lord’s presence. Seeking Him, and interacting with Him over my life, my ministry, and my relationships (especially my relationship with Him). Thank you Sanctuary at Woodville. – Pastor in Worcester, MA
