ST. PETER' S EPISCOPAL CHURCH
"A Caring Congregation Sharing God's Love"

Abundant Living Conference

    Helen Appelberg, who is priest at St. Augustine of Hippo Episcopal Church in Galveston as well as a fellow in the Sealy Center on Aging at the University of Texas Medical Branch and Director of Center for Spirituality of Aging, is leading the 6th Annual Abundant Living Conference at Camp Allen (the Diocese of Texas retreat camp near Navasota – about a 3½ hour drive from Rockport)….

    I would encourage everyone at St. Peter’s to read about this and consider attending.  Many friends of mine have gone to this and said is just wonderful.  The 6th Annual Abundant Living Conference theme is “Staying Well, Living Longer”.  It features inspirational and informative speakers, great food and entertainment.  Activities include walks in the piney woods, line dancing, canoeing, horseback riding, music and relaxation.  Some of the topics, all led by various experts, include: “Spiritual Resilience During Hard Times”, “From Aging to Saging”, “Assessing More Energy”, “Laughing Your Way Through Stress”, “The Power of Forgiveness” just to mention a few.

    Brochures are in the Parish Hall.  There is special rate for those who register before February 1, 2009.  The conference begins on March 2 and finishes on March 4.
