Rest for the Weary: Spiritual Formation Retreat

  • St. Francis of the Woods Retreat Center 11414 Oklahoma 33 Coyle, OK, 73027 United States (map)

This Lent season set aside time to experience deep Sabbath rest. The first weekend of March we have two opportunities for you to learn how to live with a rhythm of Sabbath.

On Friday evening, March 3, guest speaker Peter White will teach on the Scriptural practice of Sabbath and share how we can implement practices in our own lives to find the rest that God has promised us. Friday night’s session and worship service will take place in the NC Chapel at 6:30 and is free and all are welcome. There is no registration for Friday evening.  

Saturday, March 4th is an opportunity to build on the teaching of Sabbath through application. It is a one-day retreat at St. Francis of the Woods Retreat Center in Coyle, OK, about a 40-minute drive from Edmond. If you are ready to explore and apply sabbath practices to your life, this will be a wonderful opportunity.  The one-day retreat will be from 8:30 am-5:00 pm. The $50 cost includes materials to help you continue to lean into adopting the practice of living 24/6 and lunch.

 We will spend time our time together in nature and center ourselves around Matthew 11:28, "Come to me all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” 

Bring a snack to share, lunch will be provided. Wear comfortable shoes and clothes for walking outside, if you wish.

If you have questions contact Suzan Benson (405.436.8278) or Bonnie Cates (405.919.9193).
