Worship Equippers Retreat Day

Calling All Worshipers!
Worship Equippers Retreat Day
Featuring Conversations About the Anglican Way of Worship

You're invited to step away from the busyness of your everyday life into a beautiful country setting to explore how the Anglican Way of Worship equips individuals, families, and churches to make disciples of all nations, beginning with your family, friends, neighbors, and co-workers.

Our retreat day will begin with a country breakfast followed by the Morning Office in the Book of Common Prayer accompanied by the musical instruments of the Psalms. We will then embark on a teaching adventure through the Old and New Testaments, exploring how the BCP equips us for the Anglican Way of Everyday Worship that transforms lives!

After enjoying a fresh lunch, our afternoon session entitled "You are God's Masterpiece" will unfold, featuring conversations on how the theology of creativity is expressed through music, dance, drama, painting, sketching, sculpture, woodworking, writing, banners, signs, symbols, iconography, multimedia technology, the culinary arts, pottery, flower arranging, gardening, and the ministry of hospitality offered in the sacred spaces of our homes. Come prepared to discover, develop, and ignite your creative gifts for God's glory!
