Living Water, a Retreat Mission Group of Seekers Church

Our Call

In John 4:10, Jesus said to the Woman at the Well, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that is saying to you ‘Give me a drink,’ you would have asked and he would have given you living water.” We want to claim both our thirst and God’s promise of living water to those who ask.

As a second-generation Church of the Saviour community, Seekers Church has drawn many people who are consciously engaged in ministry where they live and work. And from our tradition, we know that this outward journey of service must be grounded in prayer and intentional reflection to sustain the Call which God has given to each member.

Therefore, Living Water intends to support the inner life of all Seekers by

• exploring the mystical realm of Spiritual Guidance through centering prayer, chant, meditation, movement and dreamwork as we seek God’s presence in the world today;
• sponsoring a peer group of spiritual guides to meet monthly for mutual growth and guidance with the hope that we can offer mature prayer partners for people in and beyond our current mission group structures;
• developing weekend events at the Carroll Street headquarters which will include preparation and follow-up for silent retreats at Dayspring or Rolling Ridge as well as tools for individual and group reflection;  acting as a “clearing house” for retreat events at Carroll Street and providing a shepherd from the mission group for those events.

In the tradition of Church of the Saviour, Stewards issuing the call to Living Water, a Retreat Mission Group, are Marjory Bankson, Emily Gilbert and Muriel Lipp. It is our intention to meet weekly at 7pm on Thursdays at Goodwin House in Alexandria, VA and participate in meetings of the current Spirit Guides group on the Third Thursday of each month.

We welcome any Seeker who responds to this call and has completed two classes in the Seekers School of Christian Living.
