Prayer in Motion, LLC Newsletter
December 23, 2004

Dear Family and Friends,

While I had hoped to get this out before Christmas, I will wish you all a somewhat belated, but very Merry Christmas and a truly blessed New Year! The time since my last newsletter has once again been eventful and full of the workings of the Holy Spirit.

What an amazing day of watching God at work at my recent workshop at Manresa! Sixteen women moved through healing of so many issues in their lives. I watched them grieve their losses, release their burdens and embrace the love of God right before me. It was truly a holy day for all of us and a real affirmation of my call to this ministry. Thanks to Fr. Bernie Owens I’m already signed up to conduct another Moving Through the Scriptures workshop at Manresa from 9:30am - 4:30 pm on Saturday, April 23, 2005! So if you missed this last one and wished you had been there, you’ve got another chance!

I was also blessed to be able to lead several short praying with movement sessions with a group of 40 or so middle singles in the area hosted by St. Francis. It was a wonderfully reflective way to begin Advent.

Thanks to the sponsorship of my home parish, St. Francis of Assisi, I was most fortunate to attend the Common Conference, 3 days of workshops and speakers directed at all Catholics of the Lansing Diocese. In addition to learning a lot, thanks to Charline List I made many contacts, including the Director of Religious Education and Adult Faith Formation for the Diocese, the Director of Youth Ministry for the Diocese and the editor of Faith Magazine. I joined the Professional Pastoral Minister’s Association and they started including my workshops on their website. Visit their website at www.ppma.parishesonline.com.

The Christian Dance Network has begun rehearsing together in earnest for our upcoming concert on Saturday, February 5^th at 7:00 p.m. at Knox Presbyterian Church in Ann Arbor. It is an amazing evening of “God present through dance” that I would love to share with you all. I have tickets available at $5.00 per person or $30.00 for the whole family. Check your calendars and let me know if you’d like me to send you some tickets.

Also coming up in the new year is a workshop called Moving Meditation: Connecting with your Center, which I will conduct at Cottage Retreat House in Jackson from 9:30am – 12:30pm on Saturday, March 19, 2005. This will be an interfaith program which I am really feeling called to do. Visit the Upcoming Events section of my website for further information.

As the year winds to a close I am in the midst of doing various proposals and follow up for many potential programs for the coming year. With God’s help Prayer in Motion, LLC will continue to grow and flourish in the year ahead and I will have many more opportunities to serve as well as realize the many ways that God has been leading and caring for me as I do His work.

Prayer in Motion…Let the Spirit move you!
