Treasures in Jars of Clay
May 7 - 9, 2023
Do you sometimes feel like you are a lump of clay that is just spinning around on a potter’s wheel? Or like a clay jar that is broken and no longer useful? Do you feel the same way when it comes to the church?
The Centre for Missional Leadership at St. Andrew’s Hall in Vancouver is partnering with Crieff Hills Retreat Centre for a special retreat to address those important questions. It will not only offer time for individual retreat and reflection, but also for teaching and conversation about God’s mission in our current post-pandemic, post-Christian landscape.
$450 per person (single occupancy, private bath) or $400 (double occupancy, shared bath) includes all food and beverages. The Crieff Hills Wellness Fund can help those facing financial barriers. Please email director@crieffhills.com
