Crossing the Threshold: A Weekend Retreat back
October 16 - October 18, 2015
THIS RETREAT IS FULL. PLEASE LET US KNOW IF YOU WANT TO BE ON THE WAITING LIST.
Title: CROSSING THE THRESHOLD. In the silence we will be invited to contemplate how we approach thresholds on our journey, and how we might find clarity, commitment and companionship as we cross over from the familiar into the unknown where God is calling us.
Leader: Peter Bankson has been a part of Seekers Church since 1976 where he is a preacher, regular presider at worship and spiritual guide. He is a member of the Servant Leadership Team and the mission groups that support worship and the ministry of place in Seekers Church. He is also an artist and recently co-authored Calling on God: Inclusive Christian Prayers for Three Years of Sundays.

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.
