What is the Encounter Retreat? It is an overnight retreat centered on experiencing God in creation and community through a rhythm of simplicity and spiritual practices.
You are invited to slow down and unplug as we build community through fun activities and encounter God. There will be three large-group sessions and three opportunities to explore spiritual practice.
The sessions will be led by:
Rev. Cassie Buhlig, First Baptist Church of Dixon, IL
Mark Buhlig, Director of Agrarian Spirituality at William Jewell College
