SUMMARY:Formation Leaders Retreat 2025
DESCRIPTION:Formation leaders are invited to a weekend retreat at Camp Stevens. The opportunity to rest and play with colleagues from across the diocese can be helpful to both longstanding and emerging ministries. Areas of focus for this year’s retreat are below. \nRegister \nMINISTRY FOCUS \nFaith Development in Community \nGod calls people in all stages of faith development into the life of our congregations. A healthy congregation recognizes that God is at work in all stages of faith development and cultivates opportunities for each person to move deeper in their discipleship journey. \nTogether we will analyze our unique congregations and ministries to think and reflect on how God is calling us: \n\nTo welcome people where they are\, and\, when they are ready\, invite them to go deeper in their life of faith\nTo create specific pathways between and among people at different stages of their faith\nTo nurture the most mature Christians in the congregation\, honoring that their energy is often the spiritual heart of the congregation\n\n  \nMINISTRY WORK \nKnowing Yourself – Ministry from a Place of Self Awareness \n“The purposes in the human heart are deep waters; but the one who has insight draws them out.” Proverbs 20:5 \nAs followers of Jesus who are also formed in and by the world\, each of us ministers from a “social location.” This means that each of us sees and understands God and the world through a lens shaped by our numerous identities\, such as ethnicity\, age\, immigration status\, education\, class\, gender\, and sexuality\, etc. Some of these identities we may be acutely aware of. Others may be less obvious to us. ALL aspects of our social location are useful to God. \n  \nKnowing Yourself makes space for folks to consider all these pieces of their identity in order to: \n\nname how they have been formed as bearers of God’s image\nconsider how their social location has equipped them for ministry\ncultivate self-awareness in community to practice nurturing authentic relationships across lines of difference.\n\nReinvented Advent – Walking with Mary \nAdvent can be one of the busiest times in a congregation’s life. Formation teams can often be filled with a longing to create a deeper connection for the community\, even while being spread thinly themselves. This session in the retreat will provide a simple and spiritually rich program that supports all ages of Faith Formation. It is built on the premise of our Ministry Focus. \n  \nSABBATH EXPLORATION \nNo visit to Camp Stevens would be complete without the opportunity to enjoy our diocesan camp. This sacred place is sure to restore your soul with joy and peace! \n\nHike to Upper Meadow\nlaugh with friends and colleagues\nsing around the fire\npray in the Camp Stevens chapel\nwalk the labyrinth\nPet a goat or a pig\nbreathe deeply\nRest and restore\n\nView the Full Retreat Schedule \n  \nArrival:  3:00 – 5:00 p.m. Thursday\, October 23 \nDeparture: 10:00 a.m. Saturday\, October 25th \nAccommodations: Lax/Sadler Lodge \nRetreat Cost: $240 \nRegister \nRegistration Includes your accommodations\, 5 incredible Camp Stevens meals\, and a few special surprises.
