We know what it's like to find ourselves profoundly empty. And not "empty" in the good, Christ-like, Philippians 2 way. I'm talking about "empty" in the exhausted, afraid, depressed, eat-3-bowls-of-Lucky-Charms-while-binge-watching-Netflix-until-2am kind of way. (Can I get an "amen"?) Most of us have had this kind of experience. Which is why Jesus' invitation in Matthew 11 resonates so deeply... “Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.” (Matthew‬ ‭11:28-30‬ ‭MSG‬‬) It's such incredibly good news. And this retreat is simply about saying "yes" to the invitation. Our desire is to simply set aside some time to say yes to quiet, yes to rest, yes to listening. This retreat will also be a great opportunity for those who are curious about Spiritual Formation Groups, but want to explore if it would be right for them.
