Retreats of all kinds offer spiritual, physical, and mental renewal as you spend time in a place free of your daily responsibilities. Jesus shows us on several occasions the importance of setting aside time for yourself and your relationship with God and others. The individual benefits of a retreat can include quiet time of peace and personal study, the chance to spend extra time enjoying a hobby, or even the opportunity to make new friends.
Unless otherwise noted, retreats start after dinner on Friday and end before lunch on the last day.

Treasured: Did you know that God says you are His treasured possession? We are of greater worth to the Father than the most stunning treasures imaginable. Some would call His love for us crazy…or even stupid. He was willing to pay the highest price for us, the sacrifice of His son, Jesus. In Isaiah 43 He says, “ You are precious to me….and I love you”. You are TREASURED.
Verse: Deuteronomy 14:2 "For you are a people holy to the Lord your God, and the Lord has chosen you to be a people for his treasured possession, out of all the peoples who are on the face of the earth."
