The Gifts of
Sabbath: An Oasis in Our Busy Lives
This light-hearted, encouraging and
informative retreat has been very popular with participants. First presented
in 2004, it has been offered to Anglican, Lutheran, Presbyterian, Roman
Catholic and United Church congregations in Calgary AB, Kamloops BC and
throughout Vancouver Island. Whether participants are young parents or busy
retirees, lay people or clergy, this retreat speaks to our urgent need today
to set aside regular periods of time to simply REST. It can be adjusted to a
Friday evening-all day Saturday retreat for a church group, or can be offered
in a more relaxed style as a Friday evening-Sunday noon retreat at a retreat
centre. “The Gift of Rest” presentation can also be offered as an individual 2.5 hour
workshop.
