Parish Retreat
Theme: Renew, Recharge, Connect: Community and Covenant
SATURDAY, MAY 5th, 2026
9AM - 4PM
Come one, come all for a fun-filled day of spiritual growth and bonding. All are welcome to our first post-Covid, intergenerational retreat where we will renew, recharge, and connect. There is no cost. Bring family and friends. A light breakfast, healthy lunch, and snacks will be provided. (Please let us know your dietary restrictions during registration!) Optional ride shares can be facilitated if desired.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Our retreat will include activities for all ages such as nature walks, lakeside contemplation, group reflections, games, art, guided meditations, prayer, yoga/gentle movement, journaling, personal quiet time, and worship. The retreat will be hosted by Rev. Spencer Hatcher who has years of experience facilitating memorable and fulfilling events. The children will participate with parents for some activities, and will also have their own age-appropriate activities organized by Pastor George and Kate Engel. Nursery care can be provided. Our hope is that you have fun and leave feeling spiritually renewed as well as connected to our community at CGS.
