Joy in the Journey A Psalm One Soul Care Retreat for Pastors’ Wives Feb. 26-28, 2015 “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, The Message) Ministry wives are invited to get away with Jesus to rest, laugh, learn, and be refreshed. Just for a few days, leave behind the busy-ness, pressures, worries, responsibilities, concerns, kids, husband and noise. Housing is at the beautiful Christian Writing Center, right on the lake. Enjoy time around the fireplace unwinding, sharing, praying and laughing--all with the encouragement of the Lord, the Word and others who understand life in the ministry. Fireplace at Christian Writing Center Cost: $150 per person includes housing, materials, meals and program fee. A few partial scholarships are available. Space is limited to 12 women.

Silent Retreat September 20, 2014 Step away from the noise and have a private conversation for an extended period of time with your thoughts. Relax and recharge in a space to just “be.” A silent retreat is simply a matter of going into a separate place to seek Christian growth. It offers us the grace to be ourselves in God’s presence without self-consciousness. It is an opportunity to spend time generously in the presence of God who helps us empty ourselves of cares and anxieties, to be filled up with the wisdom that restores us. Green Lake Conference Center, with its abundance of quiet, inspirational spaces, is ideal for silent retreats. There are two brief sessions during this day hosted by Janette Stone to guide participants in their contemplation. Janette is director and founder of Olive Tree Ministries and a well-respected Bible teacher, inspirational speaker, author, and Christian counselor. She has written five books and uses the truths of the Scripture in a humorous and forthright way. The retreat begins at 8:30 a.m. and concludes at 4:30 p.m. Cost: $25; includes lunch.
