Spiritual Life Retreat 2022



​​

​
Better Together: Abiding in Community

Sunday, October 2, 2022
​3:00 - 6:00 pm

Registration is Now Closed
Picture

Disruption and change have become the new normal.  Individually and collectively, we are getting used to being in a state of transition.  How do we move from isolation to community; from transition to transformation, from distraction to focusing on what is essential?  How do we honor what has been lost as we move forward?

Join the Spiritual Life Ministry Unit for an afternoon as we reflect and share on these questions. 
Our scriptural cornerstone will be John 15: 1-17: "I am the true vine.." 
​There will be time for solitude, small group discussion, and a community meal.

Sunday, October 2, 2022,
3:00 - 6:30 pm at Millbrook Marsh

Location
Our retreat will be held at Millbrook Marsh. We have chosen this beautiful outdoor venue for it’s wonderful, explorable space and adaptable space for safety during this COVID-19 season. To learn more about Millbrook Marsh, find their website here. For directions to Millbrook Marsh click here.
