Pastoral Care and Counseling in your Meeting

Pastoral care and Counseling in your meeting

In Person at Powell House

March 17-19, 2023

During our weekend together we will weave together time to focus on learning and/or refreshing concrete pastoral care skills with time for spiritual refreshment and deepening.

I will bring a pastoral care case study. If you have an example of sessions (individual, couples, family, or clearness committee) that prompted you to think, whether about what went well or what could have gone better, please bring that – we can think together!

For our times of refreshment and deepening, we will use Psalms and other readings to explore the ways times of trouble and difficult tasks provide openings for us to creatively answer God’s call. We will pay particular attention to the way unanswered or difficult questions are held in God’s infinite arms.

I look forward to our time together.
