Registration

Every year, we set aside one weekend to retreat together as sisters in Christ, to spend time in nature, seek God in the quiet as well as in fellowship, pray and worship together, meditate on Scripture together, know God better and let Him love us in the deep places of our souls.

We need times to reset, to be ministered to and poured into until we overflow. Our needs are often much greater than one weekend can meet; so, this is a time for us to learn about rhythms of being filled and nurtured by our loving heavenly Father and to listen for Jesus’ invitation to us in the next season. This year, our focus is on Pursuing Joy; for many of us, joy is a slippery thing we can never quite grasp, and for others it is abundant and frequent. Wherever you find yourself, please come and join us as we learn to drink deep of the joy of the Lord (and what that even means), to say ‘yes’ to Jesus as He leads us faithfully through whatever hardships and struggles we may be in, and find rest and beauty and shalom together from God’s provision.

We meet at Kelly Kang’s farm, which is gorgeous and peaceful and just out the way enough that it gets out of our usual busyness and the demands and expectations of life so we can get away to be with God. It’s only about 12 minutes from the church, so it’s easy to sleep at home in your own bed and come back each day for good fellowship and rest together. Or, you are most welcome to bring a tent and camp out, enjoy beautifully quiet and calm mornings (and probably some late night shenanigans, as Krista would say). There is a forest walk, so many gardens, a pool, a cabana a porch, a couple of very sweet dogs, fantastic food, lots of opportunity for worship and prayer, and we are also are going to have some bonus ‘camp’ features this year: campfires, campfire songs, s’mores, crafts, and tuck.

The retreat runs from Friday 4:00 pm to Sunday 6:00 pm. The sessions are Friday – Saturday, and Sunday is for a time of extended retreat with more fellowship, prayer, and rest together.
