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 Knowing Christ. We are going back to the basics of our faith. We will reflect on who Christ is, what it means to know him and what difference it makes.
-
Message
This year's speaker is Rev. Simon Park. He will lead us in reflections on what it means to know Christ and what difference it makes (Hint: it makes all the difference!)

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!
If you're registering as a family, only ONE registration form is required!
