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.
-- Jesus in Matthew 11:28-30 of The Message
Something new is coming this February - a Park Street discipleship retreat! In place of the annual small group retreat, this winter retreat is open to anyone in the Park Street family and is designed to encourage our walk with Jesus and our relationships with each other. Of course, your whole small group is welcome to come together, but feel free to invite your friends or any newcomers.
We will be considering "the unforced rhythms of grace" in three areas: work, prayer and play. Talks on these essential life pieces by Jeff and Carrie Schuliger and Chris May will be interspersed with playful activities designed by Doug May, personal reflective time, small groups and fellowship over meals. Join us around the fireplace and outdoors in the beautiful Lake Winnipesaukee setting of Camp Brookwoods.
Dates for the retreat are Feb 24-26 and early bird registration is now open until the end of January. As a bonus this year, each participant will receive the book, Seven Days of Faith: Every Day Alive with God by R. Paul Stevens, free of charge.
Together, let's keep company with Jesus and learn to live freely and lightly in the "unforced rhythms of grace."
