November 22-23

Get away and be refreshed at this year’s fall retreat at Pere Marquette Lodge.

A God for the Exhausted: We are often running on fumes and feeling overwhelmed by life. Is there another way to live in a performance based culture that feeds on productivity? We will study Psalm 23, Ezekiel 34, and John 10, and ask this question: How could my life be different with the Lord as my Shepherd? 

As we look at these passages, we see our need to be cared for and how we were made to be shepherded by God. God promises to be our shepherd and our friend, but what kind of shepherd is he? We contrast Jesus to other “shepherds” who have mistreated and used us, who would ultimately drive us into the ground. When we let go, we find that Jesus is the one our hearts have been longing for. Only in his presence can we find rest for our exhausted souls.
