Reflections from Retreat

We went on retreat together – we experienced the retreat as we become more than “to gether” but “to gather” with each other.

We went on retreat to rest – we discovered we could be restored.

We went on retreat to pray and study – we found prayerful peace and the study of God in nature.

We went on retreat as friends and colleagues – we came back more like family.

We went on retreat as pastors and teachers – we came home with the realization that we have more persons that we can pastor – and more people we can teach. 

We went, in some ways, for ourselves – on retreat, we experienced that we are best when we serve other and mentor others.

Our retreat taught us the significance of mentoring relationships – of sharing with others.
