On January 11 we will start the morning with breakfast at 8:00 am; at 9:00 we will gather with other leaders from St. Luke’s for a brief time of worship and a message from Pastor Rob. Following this time together, and wrapping up by noon, the AD ministry will meet together to hear from our AD Director, Jon Jones.

Find Fellowship

Finding community through a small group experience is a central part of this retreat, so feel free to come with a few friends or even your small group. Whether you come alone or with a group, everyone in attendance will be able to experience small group fellowship and games. Ride sharing to Epworth, which can be requested through your retreat registration, is another way to get to know other people and start building community. Enjoy time with other St. Luker’s in the new water view lodges or the camp hotel, and in the state-of-the-art new Bishop Mike and Marsha Coyner Discipleship Center.

Experience Spiritual Renewal

Pastor Rob received a Lily Grant that not only helped fund his sabbatical, but also encouraged renewal for St. Luke’s at large. This retreat will be based on Pastor Rob’s recent sermon series, “Finding Your Mountain” and our hope is that you experience renewal and a mountaintop spiritual transformation through worship, small group breakout sessions, quiet reflection time, physical activities, fun games and fellowship with other St. Luker’s.

Begin Lenten Spiritual Practices

Ash Wednesday is March 5, and this retreat will be a wonderful way to begin our season of Lent. We will have workshops on a wide variety of traditional and creative spiritual practices, from Lectio Divina to contemplative photography. Once at the retreat, you will also have the option to sign-up for a thirty-minute personal, private time of listening and prayer with St. Luke’s Stephen Ministers.
