...Are you needing time to hear God's call as you set a new direction in your life or area of ministry?
...Are you in need of some personal prayer, meditation, study, worship, rest, or just silence?
...Are you tired or weary?
...Are you looking for a place set apart, where you can meet with God in a quiet, uninterrupted, focused way?
If you are looking for such a time, then....
Come with Me by yourself to a quiet place and get some rest. So they went away by themselves in a boat to a Solitary place." - Mark 6:31b-32
"Rest well. Listen carefully. Produce nothing."
There aren't many times in life we are asked to do that, and yet that is exactly what Camp Lutherhaven is asking you to consider when coming out to a Vantage Point Retreat. Getting away for extended time alone with God can be difficult at best, almost impossible if we aren't intentional and determined. Despite the blessings, there are often roadblocks littering the pathway to personal rendezvous with God. "I'm too busy." "I don't know if it's for me what would I do all day?" "I don't like being alone." Join with others in coming out for a day that will provide a fresh perspective, a renewed sense of purpose and the sweet communion of spending uninterrupted time alone with your Heavenly Father.
Participants will be encouraged to meet with God in ways that are unique and restorative. For some people, this means silent, sedentary activities like reading and journaling. Others are more able to spend a day in prayer while hiking or boating. All will be free to roam and rest, pray and ponder, shoot some hoops or sip a cup of tea. Each event provides self-guided materials for you to use or bring your own.
Consider this invitation as one from His heart to yours. Extend this opportunity to a friend, your spouse, a small group Bible study, a church ministry team, or feel free to enjoy the day all to yourself. RSVP five-days prior to each event at 260.636.7101 or camp@lutherhaven.org. Brochures are available upon request. Cost: $15 per person.
