“Are you tired? worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me – watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.” -MATTHEW 11:28-30 (MSG)
The word sa·cred means dedicated or set apart for God. In this busy, hurried life it’s difficult to make space to meet with God. Sacred Retreats help you carve out intentional space to spend with your Heavenly Father.
