Contemplative Retreats

A Contemplative Retreat is the practice of pulling away from our normal everyday activities to be still and present before God. Jesus often retreated to a quiet place to pray (Mark 1:35). In the midst of ministry busyness, Jesus recognized his disciples’ weariness and beckoned them, “Come away with me to a quiet place and rest” (Mark 6:31). Today, Jesus continues to call out to us, “Get away with me and I’ll teach you how to take a real rest” (Matthew 11:28). You don’t need deep pockets or nice facilities in order to take a spiritual retreat. What is most needed is a willing heart. From time to time, we need the company of hospitable friends who would dig a hole in a roof to help clear a path for us to Jesus (Mark 2:1-12).
