Dialogue in the Pines

Mike & Dionne McCartney

On June 11, the Phoenix Encounter celebrated it annual 'Dialogue in the Pines.' Every summer, Encountered couples from all over Arizona gather in Flagstaff to 'beat the heat' as Flagstaff is generally 30 degrees cooler than Phoenix, Tucson, and Yuma. This year about 25 families came to have a picnic lunch together, visit, and dialogue with each other. The presenters, and their 8 year old daughter who read her letter and explained her drawing, challenged us to see characteristics in our family members as gifts from God and family members were asked to identify a gift that they see in themselves and their family. Little ones were given crayons and unlined paper and older kids were given pens and notebooks. Instructions on how to do family dialogues were handed out and families were encouraged to start dialogue traditions of their own.
