Retreat Theme

Rest ~ Rediscover ~ Be Renewed


Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. (Matthew 11:28)


Jesus gently calls us to surrender our burdens and come away and rest awhile.  In the midst of our busy lives, full of so much “doing,” it’s easy to become lost in the chaos.  This year’s theme invites us to reflect on ways we can slow down, quiet ourselves, ponder, and listen.  In doing so, we will rediscover God’s power, life, and energy within us.  For it is only through opening ourselves to God’s transforming love that we become who we are meant to be.  As we are renewed in body, mind, and spirit, we commit ourselves “to act justly, love tenderly, and walk humbly with our God.” (Micah 6:8)
