SPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENT


The ECCR recognizes that each individual, regardless of disability, was created in God's image with the purpose to serve Him in all aspects of their lives.  The Spiritual Development Department provides opportunities for residents, staff and families of residents to encounter and receive God's grace through worship services, pastoral care and providing other opportunities for spiritual growth and development.  The Spiritual Development Department serves the greater community by facilitating the participation of ECCR residents of all faiths in local congregation as well as hosting community members who share in ministry here. 
 

MONTHLY PRAYER GUIDE

Greetings from the Spiritual Development Department, 

God calls us to be a praying people.  Let us join together in prayer, offering our praise, thanksgiving, and intercession to God. 

Prayer is one way that a family of faith cares for its members. The Monthly Prayer Guide is the Retreat’s way of sharing prayer requests that concern all of us here.   Each month we will highlight a different area within the Retreat which is in need of prayer.  One month we may focus on all the residents or a couple named specifically.  Another month we may ask you to focus on one of the various departments within the Retreat or a particular staff member.     

Our heartfelt prayer is to always be open so that we may continue to be guided by God’s Word and Spirit in fulfillment of His good and perfect will.  

Yours in Christ,
Pastor Susan Dorward, Chaplain
