Summer Retreats

LIVING LIFE ON MISSION

Rest. The retreats are a wonderful opportunity to break from your normal rhythm of life for 24 hours and rest from your regular responsibilities. We are a people who work. That’s wonderful. The pattern God has given us is six days of work and one day of rest. Consider the retreat an invitation to a special space for rest.

Relationship. The Citylight retreats are a wonderful opportunity to deepen your relationships with other men/ women, as well as God himself. It’s truly amazing how deeply we can connect with God and one another during these special times away.

Reflection. Retreats are times to reflect on a specific element of the Christian life that God would have us focus on as a church. This year, the focus is on living missionally. It is a humbling fact that God has entrusted us, the Church, with the message of the Gospel, the only message that can bring men and women from death to life. We will take time to reflect on this glorious message, and on what it means to live day by day as Christ’s ambassadors in a lost and fallen world.
