New Light MCC Church retreat

March 16-18, 2012

Ever been in a New Light retreat? Not like this one!

This weekend retreat’s theme is Light and Shade. Whatever your need, you’ll find that there’s something for you.

If you need to renew your relationship with God then spend some time lighting your path and deepening your faith. If you need to renew your relationship with self then spend a little time expressing yourself and relaxing in the shade.

Both relationship with God and relationship with self are important. We get out of balance, and one suffers. Do you need a weekend in the light, or the shade? Do you need a little of both?

We’ll be using  THE FIRST COMMANDMENT given by Jesus in Matthew 22:37 as a focus.  During the weekend there will be worship and workshops that will help us look more deeply into what it means to love God with all of our heart, with all of our soul, and with all of our mind.

If your focus is renewing your strength in the light, then there are workshops designed to renew your faith and deepen your relationship with God.

If your focus is renewing your spirit in the shade of God’s love then there are workshops designed to help you relax, renew your spirit, and reconnect with the essential self.

Of course, you are welcome to take light or shade focused workshops over the weekend as you wish, regardless of your focus.

The cost of the weekend is $115** per person. If this is your first New Light retreat, and the cost is beyond your reach, then some financial aid is available. Everyone is welcome, you do not have to be a New Light member to attend.

Our 2012 retreat is being held at the ‘MCC (Mennonite Central Committee) Welcoming Place’ about 2 hours from Hagerstown. . 

The weekend starts on Friday evening at 9pm with welcoming worship, and closes with Lunch on Sunday.  All meals are provided Saturday thru Sunday – (breakfast, lunch and dinner on Saturday, breakfast and Lunch on Sunday).  If you need a ride or can offer one then please let me know.  I can’t wait to spend the weekend with you!
