Awaiting Renewal: A Spiritual Life Mini Retreat
Lent is a season that moves from the finite to the infinite, starting with reminders of our finitude and connection to dust, and finishing with the resurrection hope of Easter. During our journey through Lent, we can be attuned to the renewal that is ahead and already happening around us. In sharing the Parable of the Vineyard Workers, Jesus tells us that God’s kingdom is already present in unexpected ways, with God’s generosity at the center of renewal. As we anticipate Easter and enter into the Spring season, we are invited to witness together all that God is making new.
 
Join us for an afternoon as we reflect and share on the Parable of the Vineyard Workers in Matthew 20. There will be time for solitude, small group discussion, and a shared community meal provided by RE Farm Cafe.
When: Sunday, March 17, 3-6:00 pm
Where: RE Farm Cafe at Windswept (1000 Fillmore Road State College, PA 16803)
Suggested Donation: $30/person and $15/child (helps cover $55/adult and $25/child meal and program cost)

Hosted by the Spiritual Life Unit of SCPC.  All are welcome!

The Details...

Location
Our retreat will be held at RE Farm Cafe at Windswept Farm. We have chosen this beautiful venue for its explorable space and because of our thematic look at soil. We’re excited to share a meal from the crops grown here at the farm and prepared on site! To learn more about RE Farm Cafe, find their website here.

What to Bring
  • Warm clothing -- Our event will be held partially outdoors as we hope to walk around the farm a bit. We ask that you dress accordingly for cool weather. We recommend lots of layers. In the case of severe weather, our event will be moved inside.
  • Good walking shoes -- RE Farm Cafe at Windswept Farm is very accessible, but there is uneven ground. We advise wearing shoes that will keep you comfortable. 
  • Journal and Pen -- If you are someone who processes through writing it’s a good idea to bring these with you. 
 
Tentative Itinerary
  • 3:00 pm- Arrive at RE Farm Cafe; check-in – Introduction to retreat 
  • 3:15 pm- Worship + A short reflection – We’ll center and remind ourselves why we’ve gathered and start exploring what scripture offers us in this season. We’ll take a short walk around the farm and reflect on how the farm reminds us of God’s renewal. 
  • 3:45 pm- Individual reflection –Take time to yourself to wander the farm or sit and journal. The time is yours
  • 4:15 pm-Small Group connection – Wisdom gathering and further reflection in casual small groups. We want to make sure we are intentional about connecting and sharing our stories so we may hold each other up as we continue together in faith. 
  • 5:30 pm- Closing circle
  • 5:45 pm- Dinner – Our shared meal will be catered by RE Farm Cafe; please indicate any allergies on your registration so we can meet these needs. 
  • 6:30 pm- Head home
**children are welcome to join for any part of the retreat. We are working to have children's activities available during individual and small group reflection.
