Restoration Ministries invites you to a sabbath retreat for clergy and ministry leaders.
Matthew 11:28-30 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
Don’t we all yearn for the true rest Jesus offers in these words? To have our burdens feel light? To really feel like our souls are at rest amidst the daily yoke of to-do’s and don’t-do’s? But how exactly do we replace our heavy yokes with his light one? Join us on retreat as we gently explore Jesus’s invitation to take his light yoke and learn from him.
Enjoy some time walking the trails, sitting by the lake, or taking a much-needed nap. Take a break from your day-to-day responsibilities and simply give your body, mind and spirit some rest. Guided prayer times, silence and solitude, and time in nature will help facilitate connection with the Lord.
