Come, Be Still :: Still Waters Newsletter June/July 2007

Speaking of Timing...
Our goal for the June newsletter was... a month ago. Our theme was also "waiting." This has now become the June/July issue and we may have made you practice waiting - we are sorry. As time goes on, we may find it more appropriate to make the newsletter bi-monthly. Thanks for your patience. :)


Rest

News from Still Waters
» Delcy was recently published in the spring edition of Conversations - a journal/forum for authentic transformation. The theme is on "spiritual direction" and it's available (along with older issues) in the library.

» Robert & Sarah Fusté are delighted to do some temporary work at Still Waters this summer. They enjoy helping to maintain and nurture the place, and Delcy appreciates the help with the multitude of ordinary tasks that a place like Still Waters requires. This is part of a discernment process for both Still Waters and Rob & Sarah.
