ESM Retreat is an opportunity for all of us to reflect and learn. By hearing other perspectives, experiences, and ideas we can enrich our own lives as well.
-
Reflection
This year’s theme is "Be Bold In The Spirit". It will be all about the Holy Spirit. How did people in the Bible experience the Spirit? How does that affect us today?
-
Memories
Every year, the retreat becomes a part of our memory and spirituality. Everyone from children to adults experience memorable and meaningful times of spiritual formation.
-
Community
This is our one opportunity each year to go away as a congregation. Enjoy the bonding and connection with community, and enjoy the beautiful nature of Muskoka!
Retreat Pricing
We believe this much in the importance of the retreat that we have invested a large budget for it. We believe this is the one time where we can gather as a community to reflect on our spirituality and deepen bonds with one another. We want you there!
*We do not want finances to be a barrier to attending. If that is the only reason you are hesitant, please approach any member of the retreat committee (Deb or Jisook) to discuss your concerns and situation.*
If you're registering as a family, only ONE registration form is required!
