A Gathering for Pastors and their Spouses: Rest & Rejuvenation

Friday, September 22nd - Saturday, September 23rd


DoubleTree by Hilton Boston - Westborough

5400 Computer Drive 

Westborough, MA 01581


------------------------------------------------------------------ 


A pastor must maintain work life balance during our crazy schedules.  We are so busy doing church work for so many years that we may sometimes let our busyness replace the true intimacy with God.  Jesus still invites us "Come to me, all of you who are weary and loaded down with burdens, and I will give you REST” Matthew 11:28. Perhaps you are burned out or isolated from fellow pastors or perhaps you are about to give up but the invitation from Jesus still stands. REST AND REJUVENATION: A GATHERING FOR PASTORS & SPOUSES is a place for you to Rest, Reflect, Reenergize and Reinvent. 

MBMM is able to offer some scholarship aid to pastors wishing to attend but who are limited by financial constraints. Anyone requesting assistance should contact Jim Leavitt at: jim@mbmm.org.

Conversations We Need to Have

September 28th, 2023

11:00 am EST

No registration required


-------------------------------------------------------------------


As we continue to find our way during difficult times, it's important to explore our feelings. Of one thing we can be sure, many of us are grieving. We are grieving the deaths of beloved family, church members, friends and strangers. We are grieving losses of safety, personal freedoms, economic stability, trust, and so much more. Yet, even when struggling, we show up, preaching a Word of hope and life. There are conversations we need to have.


To help you take care of yourselves, CBMM has scheduled monthly conversations for clergy and chaplains on Zoom to share your stories, lament, rejoice, grieve and talk about COVID-19, systemic racism and whatever else is on your minds and hearts.


Rev. Maggie Lewis will facilitate monthly dialogues to give you an opportunity to take a breath and acquire additional tools for coping over the long haul.

Join us on Thursday, September 28th at 11:00 a.m. No need to register, whosoever will, please come.

New Book Release by Moreen Hughes

A Woman's Journey with God:
Engaging in the Spiritual Disciplines

By Moreen Hughes, CBMM Board Member


We wish Moreen a heartfelt congratulations on her recent book release!  


-------------------------------------------------------------------

Moreen Hughes, D.Min


As women, we know the importance of self-discipline for achieving our goals in life, be it career, fitness or relationships. But what about our spiritual life? Spiritual disciplines exist for the sole purpose of building character conducive to Christ's teachings, but we must be willing to make the journey.


In A Woman's Journey With God, Dr. Moreen P. Hughes presents a set of spiritual disciplines to help women develop Christlike character and become the best version of themselves. Exploring themes of spiritual formation, character development, and self-reflection, Hughes makes God personable and relatable and allows readers to see how small changes can have a big impact. Open your heart, be transformed, and live out God's divine intentions. 


You can purchase Moreen's book on Amazon, or at other book retailers!
