JAN. 4, 2018

Dear {first},

It's a new year and after the chaos that often comes with the holiday season, January is a perfect time to reset a healthy practice of Sabbath. Rhythms of work and rest are needed for our work to flourish.

One of the most enriching opportunities CFW offers for cultivating this pattern is our Work & Rest Retreat. On January 26-28, join me for a weekend of renewal and refreshment as we set aside time for worship and rest in Princeton, NJ. Through times of guided teaching and reflection, we’ll explore how the gospel provides life-giving rest for our souls. We've designed the weekend to develop spiritual practices that will integrate into the lives of New Yorkers. Worship music for the weekend will be provided by Mason Jar Music's Jon Seale.

We hope you will join us for a weekend to reflect on how your soul rests upon the work of Christ. 

Sincerely,

David H. Kim, Executive Director, Center for Faith & Work

 

WORK & REST RETREAT: JANUARY 26-28

The unceasing buzz of New York can lead to the slow atrophy of our souls. We over-schedule. We under-rest. Join us for a weekend that focuses upon spiritual rest, while connecting with others within and across vocational spheres. Enjoy times of guided teaching and reflection from David H. Kim and other CFW staff. Lodging will be at Princeton Seminary's Erdman Center in Princeton, NJ. Register before rates increase on January 10. More>

FAITH & WORK CLASS: BEGINS JANUARY 23

How does your faith connect in the day-to-day with your work life?

We will be weaving spiritual practices, daily devotionals, and group discussion together in community. Held Tuesday nights beginning January 23. More>

 

WRITING WITH THE FREEDOM TO CREATE

Fear is a gripping and paralyzing emotion for many of us. When it comes to writing, fear of rejection, shame, and ridicule can prevent us from sharing our gift with others. What if we could create with the assurance that our works are divinely ordered, and that there's an intended audience that will benefit from our sacrifice? Join Jakki Kerubo (Wall Street Journal, Golden Handcuffs Review, Stir Journal, and Huffington Post) on January 22 for a conversation on the freedom to create. We’ll examine freedom from fear and develop some tools to help us be more vulnerable and courageous in our vocation. More>

WHY GOTHAM: STORIES OF TRANSFORMATION

At the Center for Faith & Work, one of our goals is to equip people to integrate their faith with their work in a deep and meaningful way. Our most intensive program is the Gotham Fellowship, a nine-month discipleship intensive which provides the theological, spiritual, and relational foundations required for meaningful and sustainable integration of faith and work. To hear a handful of the countless stories of deep transformation this program has brought about check out our Why Gotham video. Applications for the program open January 15. More>
