Touched by Grace - November 17, 2019
Do you ever just know something is for you? In March of 2018, I was scrolling through the Clergy Chicks group on Facebook (yes, there is such a group) when a post jumped out. A clergywoman I didn’t know had written, “Hey all, I was in this program and it was phenomenal! It is across ages, denominations, and across the US and Canada. Check it out.” And below was a link to a post from the Sisters of Saint Benedict – Our Lady of Grace Monastery:
Are you a clergywoman in need of spiritual renewal? Do you want to thrive in ministry? Have you been ordained at least 5 years? Do you yearn to belong to a community of like-minded women who will support you for a lifetime? As you lead your congregation, do you feel like a stray dog at the whistler's convention? Then Women Touched by Grace is for YOU!
Hosted by the Sisters of St. Benedict of Our Lady of Grace Monastery in Beech Grove, Indiana, this Lilly Endowment funded program has a 15-year history of ministering to Protestant clergywomen in an atmosphere of prayer and hospitality.

So I did. Read about what happened next and what Pam learned here (PDF download):
