Report from Ocean Edge

We laughed a lot at the UCC Medfield Weekend Away! Tim Hartman, the storyteller/actor who worked with the children and youth was very funny. Saturday evening he provided the after dinner entertainment and I must confess it has been a long time since I have laughed that hard.

Today Pastor Liz led a workshop with the title, "Imagining the Church in Prayer," and helped those on the retreat to deepen their own prayer life and gave some helpful suggestions on ways of accomplishing this. Afterward, we had the worship service led by Carol Cassoli and the homily delivered by Barbara Seeglitz. I always find the worship service at the end of the Weekend Away inspiring.

All in all, I think attendees made new friendships, deepened older friendships, and we all had a chance to use our imaginations as a way of growing in our faith and visioning the church.
