A mostly silent overnight retreat, Becoming like Christ: Familiar blessings, blowing Spirit, is being offered from 6 pm Thursday evening, June 25 through 4 pm on Friday, June 26. Led by Dawn Nelson, pastor of Methacton Mennonite Church, and Barbara Shisler, the retreat will include short input sessions on three themes exploring gifts of Mennonite spirituality: “gelassenheit,” or letting go, the everyday sacred and encountering Jesus – the “I AM.” There will also be ample time for reflection, journal writing and walking in the woods.
The retreat will be held on the beautiful grounds of the Mariawald Renewal Center in Shillington, PA. Call 610-584-4080 or 215-256-9606 to register. The cost is $75 per person, which includes two meals and overnight lodging (bring your own breakfast). Come to be renewed and refreshed as you step away from the daily challenges of life. Registration will close on June 1.
