Spiritual Practices Retreat 2020
Choosing Joy!
October 30- November 1, 2020
quotes from last year's retreat:
- Camp Gilmont touched my heart—— the place, the people & the presence of God—- I am refreshed by having been on Holy Ground.
- God was so present everywhere, but the most special moment was His special touch on my troubled spirit.
- Time was well planned to allow a restful pace and meaningful sessions -- all filled with heartfelt presentations and joyful music. Staff made seamless adjustments for rainy weather.
- This is truly a place you can unplug from every day life. You will come away refreshed!
In these moments of COVID-19, racial unrest, and our lives being turned upside down, is it possible to know joy? Should we even seek joy? Joy is essential to the spiritual life. Joy is the experience of knowing that you are unconditionally loved and that nothing can take that love away.
At this year’s Spiritual Practices retreat we will explore joy: how joy is not the same as happiness but something alive in the midst of pain; how joy is essential for the fruit we want to bear; and how joy is a choice that we must make. This will be a joy-filled retreat.
As part of this year’s retreat, Paul Burns will be sharing his Soul-Metrics spiritual inventory to help us gauge where we are on our spiritual journey to a deeper joy.
