The Hermitage Spiritual Retreat Center at Lake Pomme de Terre in Pittsburg, Missouri provides Christian hospitality, inviting reverence for God, all people, and the natural environment. Persons of all faith traditions and others sincerely seeking God are welcome.
Our Mission is to provide, on a short-term basis, sacred time, space and resources for silence, prayer, solitude, restoration and renewal.
There is no charge for the use of a hermitage. This ministry depends on tax-deductible donations. Visit their website for more information, or call them at 816.363.3968.

Get Connected: Using Online Health Resources Wisely
Finding information on the Internet is fairly easy, as long as you realize its limitations and can judge what you find. Remember: the Internet is not a monitored, edited, ordered, or unified information source, like a set of encyclopedias. The Internet supports a wide range of human communication, and this communication reflects all the intelligence, stupidity, wisdom, aggressiveness, kindness, malevolence, and chaos of human life.
Think of the Internet as a city. As you go about a city in your daily life, you don't believe everything you hear, read, or see. You are wary of strangers and seek out trusted places to do business, shop, or make friends. Have this same kind of sensibility on the Internet.

Get Involved!
The African proverb "It takes a village" is today an often-heard and repeated phrase. Never has it been more relevant than in today's world, though. Even in the most affluent states in our nation, disease, hunger and poverty needlessly claim lives every day.
We are called to a life of health, but we are also called to help others. Look around your community. Are there programs designed to help low-income families with health needs? What about in your local church? Is your church providing or participating in local or regional health programs?
We offer a challenge to every Methodist in the conference: Get involved! Here are some ways you can participate in building congregational and comunity health programs:
- Volunteer for your local church Health Ministries Committee
- Help organize a Health Fair in your church
- Volunteer at a local free clinic, food bank or other community program
- Gather information about existing programs in your area, and submit them to HolyHealthyUMC for us to post. CLICK HERE>
