Finally, brothers and sisters, rejoice! Strive for full restoration, encourage one another, be of one mind, live in peace. And the God of love and peace will be with you. 2 Corinthians 13.11

Amidst the noise and distractions of your life, can you hear Jesus beckon, “Come unto Me, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11.28)? Instead of the usual excuses, perhaps it is time to invest in yourself – with the gift of a whole weekend to nourish your soul! The same Lord who delights over us with singing meets us in a special way when we intentionally draw apart from our responsibilities, gather in surroundings of beauty, and embrace stillness and silence awaiting His voice.  

“Serenity & Strength” is a weekend designed for you to better understand God’s heart and embrace His love, peace, and strength in your own life. We have curated an experience which includes teaching, interactive journaling, prayer, personal quiet times, recreation, and worship with the hope you leave renewed and restored – empowered with soul strength for all the days ahead. (Sample schedule: We will tailor the weekend to the needs of your group – one full day; one-night/day event, or full two-night weekend.)
