SUMMARY:The Recreating Seasons

We experience seasons of painful loss and surprising resurrection\, in-between times of waiting and wondering\, seasons of release and ascension – and a growing outpouring of the Spirit’s transforming life into ours. \nWhat invitation am I being offered to walk with Jesus in my present season? What recreating and life-giving connections do the seasons of Jesus’ life journey hold for my own journey today? \nThe seasons\nCana\nLife is good\, things are progressing\, my problems are fixable \nGood Friday\nCalamity\, loss\, the death of something precious \nEaster Sunday\nGod offering new life inside my loss \nThe 40 Days\nMourning the death of the old\, adjusting to the new \nAscension\nReleasing the old\, letting it “ascend” with Jesus \nPentecost\nReceiving the fullness of God’s Spirit into my true situation \n  \nThis retreat helps unpack the special rhythms of Jesus’ life that offer transformation to ours. It helps us relax and make peace with our real lives\, saying yes to God’s movement in our journey today! \nWhat\n1/2 day\, full day or overnight retreat \nWho for\neveryone on the journey \nWhen\nas scheduled by your church or group \nWhere\nat your church or location \nCost\nto be determined by your group

SUMMARY:Spiritual Directors & Formation Leaders Retreat
DESCRIPTION: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! \n  \nThis year’s theme: \nTHREE TEMPTATIONS – THREE DISCIPLINES OF THE HEART \n \nThis year we ponder three temptations confronting leaders in ministry: the temptations to be Relevant\, Spectacular and Powerful. \nWe’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. \nRetreat Focus\nThis 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! \nWhen\n1pm Tuesday March 3 – 4pm Wednesday March 4\, 2020 \nWhere\nNEW LOCATION \nChrist the King Retreat Center\, 621 1st Ave S\, Buffalo\, MN 55313 \nView Map \nCost\nSingle room\, including meals – $149.00 per person \nDouble room\, including meals – $129.00 per person \nWe recognize that costs have risen this year. Our new location allows us to keep our rooms until near the end of the retreat. For this advantage we chose this slightly more expensive location. \n

SUMMARY:Chosen\, Blessed\, Broken\, Given
DESCRIPTION:In life and ministry\, how do I live under my Father’s blessing\, experience my brokenness under his love\, and ultimately be given as life-giving bread for others? \nThis unique offering opens the door to four key words from Jesus’ last supper. These become rich themes that move us toward new places in our life with God\, ourselves\, and those we serve. \nChosen\, Blessed\, Broken\, Given \nMark 14:22 \nHow do I live as God’s \nChosen one\nso I can extend an experience of being lovingly and continually chosen to myself and others \nBlessed one\nhelping me shift my life and service from beneath the weight of endless work\, what’s missing\, and a need to perform\, toward living unburdened beneath God’s blessing and other’s blessing \nBroken one\npermitting God’s grace and unwavering affirmation to pierce my broken life and imperfect ministry as my primary invitation into intimacy and power with God \nGiven one\nwhose life God has chosen\, blessed\, and broken in preparation of being given in nourishing and transforming ways to myself\, my loved ones\, and a chosen\, blessed\, and broken world \n\nChosen\, Blessed\, Broken\, & Given defuses the pressure sometimes felt on retreat to fully untangle complex life and ministry problems. It shifts focus to resting ministry teams into the bedrock truth of our beloved brokenness in Christ. It’s here we find an open doorway to become our real selves – and to live and powerfully serve as our hearts sense they are called to do. \nThis retreat or event can be offered at your location in formats ranging from a half-day seminar\, full-day retreat\, to an entire weekend.

SUMMARY:The Ministry of Imperfection
DESCRIPTION:One of God’s servants complained to the Lord one day about the many trials she was experiencing. God replied\, “But my dear\, this is how I treat all my friends.” To which the servant replied\, “Then I see Lord why you have so few of them!” \nThe challenges and trials of Christian service are hard\, yet are creating something beautiful and life-giving in us and in those we are called to serve. But how do we receive and even relax into these gifts of imperfection when the insistence on ministry perfection – buffed and polished ministries\, growth\, results – is so strong in and around us? \nThis retreat reflects on Michelangelo’s powerful “David” & “The Prisoners” sculptures for doorways into living and ministering from our real selves. Taken with John 20:19-22 (Jesus appearing to his disciples in their locked room) we explore owning and making peace with our wounds\, speaking peace to ourselves and others\, and creating a deeper mission in a wounded world. \nMine out God’s hidden and powerful presence in life and ministry imperfection and take hold of the transcendent new thing being born in you and your ministry in the midst of it. \nAdditional Info\nWho\n\nMinistry Leaders & Staffs\n\nPastors\nStaff members\nMinistry leaders\nMissions workers\nSpouses\n\n\n\nWhat\nDay of renewal & conversation \n\nThe day will be structured around brief reflections on our theme with ample time to be alone\, reflect\, rest\, pray\, share\, and just experience God’s care as individuals and as a ministry team.\n\nWhere\nAt your church or preferred location \nLength\n1/2 day or full-day retreat

SUMMARY:Come See\, Come Dream
DESCRIPTION:How do you hear God’s voice and direction\nalready at work in your longings\, needs and dreams? \nHow do you let God’s voice of love and fresh possibilities create your future before the pressures and expectations of life create it first? \nThis event makes time and space to hear Jesus’ personal invitation to “come and see” his hopes and dreams for your relationships\, vocation\, inner life\, ministry\, future\, and more – through two key questions and an invitation from John Chapter 1:35-39: \n  \n\n“What do you seek?”\n“Where are you staying?”\n“Come\, and you will see!”\n\nWe can easily lose a sense of God’s loving\, recreating voice by accident. We are not likely to gain it by accident—we have to listen intentionally! \nThe retreat will be structured around stories and reflections on Jesus’ questions\, plus time alone and in groups to hear from God\, reflect\, rest\, share\, and just experience God’s care. \n  \nAdditional Info\nWho for\nCongregations & ministry leaders. The retreat can be weighted toward: \n\nStaffs & ministry leaders\nFull congregations\nMen’s groups\nWomen’s groups\n\nWhat\nParticipants will connect with God and each other through stories\, laughter\, the potent themes\, personal times\, sharing\, and soul-forming activities \nWhere\nAt your church or preferred location \nLength\n1/2 day\, full-day\, overnight\, or weekend retreat \n
