Day With God Organizer

“The goal: to get away to a peaceful place where you will not be distracted. A place where you’ll be able to converse with God with generous amounts of listening and reflecting. This is a time to BE instead of DO, to ABIDE instead of STRIVE.”

But getting away and getting to a point of being and abiding can be a challenge. The Spiritual Life Team has put together a guide to help you prepare for, and make the most of a day (or half day) away with God. You’ll find things to think through ahead of time, ideas for things to include (or not include) in your time and a suggested schedule. We hope this can be a helpful tool for those who would like to spend a more extended time with God and just want a little extra help getting there. And if you want more ideas or help, feel free to contact us or ask about having an Individual Guided Retreat.
