Dear Pastor:
We invite you to join the staff of the Clergy Health Initiative and Duke Divinity School for a one-day program on Monday, February 2 at Edenton United Methodist Church in Edenton, North Carolina. This continuing education event, “Sacredness Reclaimed” centers upon recognizing the sacredness of everyday time, a sacredness which can open new perspectives on ministry and encourage us to care for ourselves in refreshing, creative ways. You will be empowered to re-imagine the sacredness of everyday time, and to attend to your own wellness as a spiritual discipline. Participants who attend all of the sessions in their entirety may receive 0.4 Continuing Education units from Duke Divinity School.
Registration for this event is required. The registration fee is $20 ($15 if you register by December 31, 2008). The deadline for registration is Monday, January 19, 2009.
