We invite you to join us for a Sabbath Time Retreat.
These quarterly retreats, offer an opportunity for pastoral leaders to enter into an environment of rest, prayer, worship, spiritual companionship and renewal.
The plan for a sabbath time retreat
Sabbath Time Retreats welcome Christian pastoral ministers, lay and ordained of all denominations (or non-affiliated) to gather as colleagues, finding common ground in the call to Christian ministry and its challenges.
Each Sabbath time retreat runs for two overnights. The first evening begins at 7 pm, and includes an orientation and optional evening prayer. On the next day, you will have 3 meals, the option to attend morning and evening prayer, as well as a collegial sharing session. The final morning concludes with a gathering time and blessing after breakfast.
During leisure time, you may wish to avail yourself of the beautiful grounds and quiet nooks throughout the Retreat Center.
The cost is $121.00 for 2010 with a $25.00 non-refundable deposit. Click here for brochure in Adobe (.pdf).
