Can you believe the retreat is right around the corner?! Woohoo! We are looking forward to seeing how the Lord will show up for YOU, specifically, in these few days. This place is amazing! If water slide, pool, and/or hot tub is your love language, you got it! If disc golf, mini golf, softball, all the sports is you...check, you got it! Prefer fishing, yep...it's there! Does refueling look like watching an episode of The Chosen? Well, there is a theater room just for you! Or maybe you just want to sleep, read a good book, spend some time in solitude? This place has 11 acres with plenty of space to spread out!
Now moving on to some other important details. First, for all the information on the retreat, including directions, check-in information, packing list, and schedule see below. (Please note, parking is limited to 20 cars. If possible, please consider carpooling.)
Second, while all the meals for the retreat have been planned and groceries provided, we are taking care of them ourselves. The meals will all be relatively simple. We mainly just need a few ladies at each meal to help get it all together, put it out, and clean up after. If you are interested, please sign up for a meal here.
Lastly, here are a few questions, we'd love for you to think and pray about between now and when we gather:
- Imagine Jesus calling you by name and asking, "(Your name), what do you want me to do for you?" Really search your heart. What is your deepest desire? Don't over-analyze it or criticize it. Just let it be.
- What activities bring you delight?
- What activities are you willing to refuse to engage in so that this retreat is truly rest, worship, and delight?
- We would like this retreat to be technology free, especially as it relates to phones, computers, and tablets, etc. Would you be willing to turn your phone off for the duration of our time? Consider it an invitation, rather than a rule.
For those that are willing to disconnect from their phones, feel free to give family members, and anyone that may need to contact you, this emergency contact number: 972-342-0469 (Claressa Barrett). This phone will be on and available the entire time.
Hopefully, this answers most of your questions, but if not, please don't hesitate to reach out to Claressa at the number above. See you soon!!
