2019 NOR-CAL PASTOR/LEADER RETREAT BASIC INFORMATION

~ To all my brothers in Christ, and particularly to pastors ~

Spiritual Preparation (Acts 17:28)

I praise you for making the decision to come to this retreat, some of you for the eighth time. Please, as the leading week winds up, take care of business – meaning, clear the tasks you must do by accomplishing them, constructively delaying them, or assigning them to a willing volunteer. Or maybe, just leave some of them in the Lord’s hands.

Pastors, on Sunday April 21, during your morning service, please ask your congregation to pray for you and any ministry leaders coming with you. Please spend some meditative time before leaving on Matt. 6:9-15; I suggest spending some pensive chairos moments reflecting on Vv. 12-16 along with your attending ministry leaders.

Some advice to digital junkies (personal confession and repentance here): Try to wrap up all your internet/email/twitter/Facebook stuff in the week before. You might even think about leaving all the tech stuff at home, with the exception of your phone. And when you arrive, try turning it off for three days. Yes, I know… some of you will just have to check-in, perhaps a very few of you for an actual good reason.

Practical Preparation

This is a dorm-style camp, so bring a sleeping bag, pillow, towels, shaving kit, and the typical stuff that goes with this kind of event. BE SURE to bring a variety of clothes, including a WARM JACKET.

If you require disability quarters: We have limited ‘disability friendly’ accommodations.

- Call Greg 707-322-2985

If you have dietary issues: We try to supply some foods for diabetics, vegetarians, and lactose/gluten intolerant at all meals. If you have such issues, bring your kind of snacks.

IF YOU HAVE ANY SERIOUS HEALTH ISSUES, PLEASE NOTIFY US DURING REGISTRATION AT CAMP. WE WILL HAVE A CAMP NURSE FOR ALL THREE DAYS. LET HIM KNOW YOUR ISSUES AND VERIFY YOUR DORM #.
