As a Twin Cities area spiritual director or formation leader we are excited to invite you to join us for this retreat, offered in the spirit of a “thank you!” and blessing for your dedication to your important work!

 

This year’s theme:

THREE TEMPTATIONS – THREE DISCIPLINES OF THE HEART

This year we ponder three temptations confronting leaders in ministry: the temptations to be Relevant, Spectacular and Powerful.

We’ll draw from Henri Nouwen’s classic treasure, “In the Name of Jesus” to challenge these common ministry temptations with disciplines of the heart and spirit that strengthen our core being, helping us live and serve from a deeper, more certain and nourishing place in Christ.

Retreat Focus

This retreat stirs personal deepening, rest, renewal and connection! (We’re leaving skills-sharpening for another time.) We’ll enjoy brief presentations on our themes, share times together and alone, sit in silent wordless prayer, and be with each other for comfort, uplift and support in our lives and calling!
