We are planning a retreat that will be meaningful, enriching, illuminating, and enjoyable. You don't want to miss it! And we don't want you to miss it either.
And yes, we know January 31 seems like a long way off! But we wanted to get you the dates ASAP so you can mark your calendars and register. (Also, this is an off weekend for the NFL. It falls between the conference championship games and the Super Bowl—just in case anyone was wondering!)
Here's more information about the retreat.
What: We'll be led by Dave Odom, executive director of Leadership Education at Duke Divinity School. Dave led our Imagine Retreat in April of 2023, and we’re thrilled for him to return and facilitate our retreat again. He’ll lead us in three sessions: one on Friday evening and two on Saturday.
During our time together, we’ll reflect on what we’ve heard and learned as a congregation through our inclusion discernment process. Dave will invite us to imagine and recommend potential next steps as we work toward fulfilling our church’s call toward greater inclusion of all peoples.
Who: Everyone at 2BC is invited to the retreat (high school age and up!). Whether you've been a member for 40 years or just started attending recently, we want you to come. Your attendance will also be rewarded with an enjoyable, rich, and meaningful weekend.
We’ll offer activities for children ages birth-5th grade throughout the retreat with the fun themes of Glow Crazy on Friday night and Go Wild! on Saturday (reservations required).
When: Friday, January 31, 5:30-8 p.m.
Saturday, February 1, 8:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m.
Friday dinner, plus Saturday breakfast and lunch, are included. We'll have one session on Friday evening and two on Saturday.
Where: We'll gather in the Social Room at 2BC.
How: Register for the retreat by clicking the LINK below. Registration is required so we can plan for food. There is no cost for the retreat. The registration deadline is January 24.
