Date & Time

Saturday August 8th,

9AM - 3PM

Refining Love

Come join us for a retreat to encounter God's transforming love.  Together we'll experience creative ways to express and abide in His presence.  Our hope for this day is that we would be refreshed and renewed in our pursuit of a deeper relationship with Him.

​

This event is being organized by a team of women at Waite Park Church that have a heart for prayer and a desire to see others deepen their intimacy with God. 

​

Food, drinks, and refreshments (including a lite breakfast and a lunch will be provided. 

​

Worship and prayer will be the main activities of the day

Prayer Experiences

The following are just a few of the prayer experiences being thoughtfully designed to help us pursue and encounter God together. 

​

Trust

​

This activity will be centered around prayerfully identifying what weighs us down. Participants will have an opportunity to write these insights down and release them to God in a meaningful and tangible way. 

I waited patiently for the Lord to help me, and he turned to me and heard my cry. (Psalm 40:1)

​

Love

​

God loves each of us. This isn't a lofty theological doctrine about God that only exists conceptually. This is a deeply personal and individual truth - God. Does. Love. You. In this activity we'll make space to hear from God about His personal love for us. 

​

See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are. (1 John 3:1) 

​

Fan the Flame 

​

God has given us senses (both spiritual and physical) and a variety of ways through which we can experience and pursue Him. In this session we'll ask God how He wants us to pursue Him and together we'll create a mosaic of how God is wanting to be known. 

​

As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for You, my God. My soul thirsts for God, the living God. (Psalm 42:1-2)

We Hope You Can Join Us
