Retreats
‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’
Matthew 22:37-39
The goal of spiritual formation ministry is that we become people who love. People who love God and others and themselves generously, compassionately, sacrificially, and wholeheartedly. People who love like Jesus.
To love well, we need to be people who pay attention to what God is doing and wants to be doing, in us and around us. That’s why retreats are so important.
Retreats help us to create space in our lives away from the noise and the busyness where we can stop, breathe, and rest. They provide space for us to listen for God, to understand our own thoughts, and for God to breathe new life into us.
Upcoming retreat in November
Whole Retreat
November 6th - November 8th
Trinity Center, Pine Knoll Shores, NC
Led by Barrett Owen and Jayne Davis
The cost is $285 per person for a double occupancy room and $330 per person for a single room. All meals from Friday dinner through Sunday breakfast are included.
We are Whole. Our brokenness does not define or diminish us. The lovely and the unlovely of our lives are held gently in the hands of the One who makes all things new.
“Similar to the Japanese art of Kintsugi, our rough edges and cracks are filled in with gold to point to the greatness of God… We can embrace God in our trials with faith that God is doing a work in us beyond our comprehension. Our scars are not things to run from or to hide from others. Through them we exalt the one who is conforming us more and more into the image of Christ.”
Come away on retreat. Create space in a weekend to rest from the striving, to embrace the truth of who God made you to be, to know that you are enough just as you are.
