METRO-NYC GRAD WINTER RETREAT 2022
***1/24/2022 Update: new retreat date will be 2/18-2/19***
For this year’s winter retreat we want to ask the question, “What difference would it make for us as graduate students if we actually took God’s command to practice the sabbath seriously?” The many demands of graduate school may make the idea of embracing a rhythm of work and rest seem nearly impossible, but what if we actually needed this rhythm now more than ever? Join graduate students in the NYC Metro Area for a 24 hour “Sabbath Experience.” As we prepare for a new semester, we’ll spend time stopping, resting, delighting, and contemplating the goodness of God.
