Re-Connecting with Faith: Finding Your Home – Adult Retreat January 25-27, 2008

Are you considering a church home? Do you currently attend a church, but feel like you’re not getting everything you need? Are you looking at spiritual alternatives? Have you recently moved and need to find a new church? If you answered yes to any of these questions, this retreat is for you!

For a variety of reasons, a large number of adults leave the spiritual home of their youth, or spirituality altogether. However, after a while, many of these people feel like something is missing in their lives. Returning to a spiritual community after an absence can be a bit challenging for many people. Will you encounter the situations that caused you to leave? Will you be accepted? Will you be fulfilled? All too often these challenges result in the person staying away from a spiritual community altogether, and everyone loses.

Or perhaps you’ve moved to a new area and are having trouble finding that church home like the one you left behind. This can often be a long and difficult process. After all, how do you go about “trying on” churches, or even denominations for that matter?

This weekend long retreat is held for adults who are currently without a spiritual home, or who are attending a church but don’t feel fed there. We’ll take some time to tell our own stories; who we are and what it is we’re seeking. We’ll also look at some of the challenges in finding a spiritual home and what some different churches have to offer. Come and join those who have gone through this discernment process before and who can help you find your way.

The cost of the retreat is $90 per person.

Housing will be in our retreat lodges. Each room sleeps 3-5 people, but for this type of retreat, participants can register with someone (spouse,friend, etc.) for one room OR register individually, in which case we may place folks together---2 or 3 to a room. Cost is the same for all participants.

The retreat will begin at 7:00 PM on Friday night and finish early afternoon on Sunday. There will be two overnights and five meals.
