We are looking forward to Retreat 8, which will focus on how our spiritual transformation is For the Sake of Others: Where Formation and Mission Meet. We anticipate God has great things in store for us as we gather together next week and we invite you to join with us in prayerfully asking God to reunite this community in meaningful ways.
As a reminder, our Community Covenant was established so that we can gather together with intentionality to experience a truly set a part time with God and each other. We trust you will make the necessary arrangements to unplug from your responsibilities at home in order to receive all that God has for you in these final retreats.
Remember to bring:
Journal and Bible
Comfortable walking shoes
Toiletries and personal care items
Pillow or any other items that would help you rest well
Alarm clock so you can completely unplug
Refillable container for water and/or coffee
We look forward to seeing you!
