February 19 - February 21, 2016
Theme: LIVING FROM A QUIET CENTER. In an opening meditation on Friday night we will consider what it means to live from a quiet center, and then we will seek to cultivate this practice in the quiet of retreat during the weekend. There will be gatherings for silent prayer on Saturday morning and evening.
Leader: Nat Reid has been the director of Dayspring Retreat Center for 11 years, and has been involved with the Church of the Saviour and its ministries since the late 90s.
For Bread of Life Church. Others welcome as space permits.
Weekend retreats run Friday dinner through Sunday lunch. The silence begins Friday night after dinner when the leader opens the retreat and introduces the theme. The leader usually offers brief reflections with morning and evening prayers on Saturday. The silence ends after breakfast Sunday morning with a time of sharing and worship, followed by lunch and departure.
You must be fully vaccinated against the coronavirus in order to attend weekend retreats. We are requiring that masks be worn indoors except when dining or in your personal room.
The cost for weekend retreats is $250. A $100 deposit is required to register. (Let us know if you need financial assistance.) To reserve a space email Nat Reid at office@dayspringretreat.org, or send a check with a note indicating which retreat you wish to register for.
Dinner on Friday at 7 pm is the first official gathering. You are welcome to arrive and settle in between 3:30 and 6:30 pm on Friday. The retreat will end by 2 pm on Sunday. Please plan to stay for the entire retreat.
