Retreat Fun!



We had an awesome retreat last weekend at Rockcraft, a beautiful retreat center on Sebago Lake. Here are some highlights:
  • great times of conversation and sharing with Meredith, our retreat leader
  • really meaningful times of worship
  • awesome music with Shelley & Mike
  • amazing and abundant food!
  • perfect weather and beautiful fall colors
  • a great experience making mosaics with Priscilla from SPIRAL Arts
  • late-night silly games inolving writing sentences, drawing pictures, and folding paper
  • laughing until it hurt
  • discovering the secret passageways!
  • deepening our sense of community

If you missed out on the fun, don't despair -- we're already planning to do it again next year!

It’s no secret that everything that’s living is either growing or it’s dying. Our spiritual lives are no exception.

The invitation to follow the way of Jesus is an invitation to growth.

Join us for a weekend away from the routines and stresses of daily life. God will be with us to plant seeds, nourish and nurture them, and provide a little fertilizer, too. A bountiful harvest awaits!

The weekend will include good food, engaging conversation, uplifting music, meaningful worship, fun games, plenty of laughter, quiet space for reflection, and free time to relax and enjoy one another in the beauty of God’s Creation.
