We seek to know and love Christ, the stranger, and each other.
We seek to know and love Christ, the stranger, and each other.
When Jesus made his dwelling among us, God’s glory came face-to-face with our human condition: sickness, death, loss, poverty, war, famine, and captivity. Christ’s response was grace and truth. As Christians–little Christs–how can we shape our response to be like His?
One practice is to pause and pray for guidance and the strength to act. During our time together, we will explore different ways we can apply all of ourselves to the work of prayer.
Join us for food, fellowship, being our whole selves, and praying together.

About the Retreat Program:
There will be a time to relax, play, knit, read, hike, sing, laugh and let someone else cook and clean. On top of all that, we will enjoy a time of fellowship to think and learn with each other. The retreat will balance plenty of free time with the program content. There are many nearby trails for hiking close at hand as well as a labyrinth located next door.
