Covenant Stories: Claud's Vision
Story #13 in the Covenant series
In 1996 Claud McHorse asked the church leaders to meet with him after worship. We sat with Claud at one of the cafeteria tables. He announced that he had received a vision.
This was unusual for two reasons.
First, we’re not really a vision kind of church. We’re more of an introverted bunch, with a tendency toward quiet introspection and careful discussion. Even a raised voice is rare at our church. We believe that God’s Spirit is present in our church, to be sure. But so far the Spirit of God has spoken in hushed tones at Covenant, which is nice of the Spirit, because anything more than that would frighten us. What I’m saying is we’re not the sort of church where people leap to their feet in the middle of the service and speak. Unless of course they are listed in the order of worship, in which case a certain amount of leaping is tolerated, though we’d prefer it if you’d move slowly so as not to get the children all riled up.

Retreats

Your story leads to ask a question I would rather not since you are on sabbatical. But since I am sure your mind is already thinking about retreats I think it is safe. When will the next ones be? I would honestly prefer fall or winter as Texas could be way too hot in the summer but I am sad I missed the last ones because I was moving positions. So, when you finish with your sabbatical I wounder if you all would think about doing some more.
Blessing,

"Look for something this fall...I think. I'll announce it at rlp when we set a date."
