The Mystery of Christ In Us: Weekend Retreat

Theme: THE MYSTERY OF CHRIST IN US.  Jesus said to his disciples, “Make your home in me as I make my home in you.”  In this statement and other passages from the gospel of John, Jesus makes his intention for his followers clear.  We are called to receive Christ inwardly and surrender to the mystery of Christ’s life flowing through us.  In silent community we will draw upon John’s gospel as we open ourselves to this most precious gift and allow ourselves to be nurtured in it.

Leader:  Sydney Johnson, long-time member of The Church of the Saviour, most recently has been serving as pastor of Friends of Jesus Church and Board Chair of the Festival Center.

The silence ends late-morning Sunday with a time of sharing and worship, followed by lunch, the departure meal.
