Stillness Retreat Season In His Presence > By Kay Kastner retreat manager “The mind that comes to rest is tended In ways that it cannot intend: Is borne, preserved and comprehended By what it cannot comprehend.” These words from Wendell Berry describe what happens when we are in His presence. As summer comes to a close at Camp Tejas the excitement of the transformation into Retreat Season is in the air. Just as our LORD transforms the vibrant colors of the different seasons – He can transform our lives through the stillness of our lives. God has provided a beautiful place here at Camp Tejas to come and experience this stillness and rest away from the distractions of life. Whether you come to seek solitude through prayer and meditation, gather in fellowship for spiritual growth, or simply come to make memories, you will leave refreshed with a renewed focus on your LORD and Savior Jesus Christ. >> Purpose Details The retreat season is from midAugust to the end of May.
