2026 Spring Retreat: "Claiming Divine Abundance"
Saturday, June 20 (with overnight options June 19 and/or 20)
St. Raphaela Center (Haverford)

"I came that they may have life and have it abundantly." - John 10:10b

All adults are welcome to join us - overnight or as a commuter - for our annual Spring Retreat at the St. Raphaela Center. 

Rev. Rhetta Morgan will facilitate our structured time together on Saturday - beginning at 9:30 am and wrapping up after dinner, between 7 and 7:30 pm. Through individual reflection, group sharing, ritual and singing, we'll focus on how we understand and experience both scarcity and abundance in our own lives and in the world around us, and explore resources to help us more consistently and fully live into the gift and promise of divine abundance.

Lunch and dinner are included on Saturday, and there will also be ample free time to enjoy the grounds and facilities at St. Raphaela (including a private swimming pool)!

Participants are encouraged to stay overnight Saturday (or Friday and Saturday) to make the most of their retreat experience. Overnight participants will enjoy self-directed time Friday and/or Saturday night.

Deadline for registration is June 5 (June 12 for payment). Please contact Pastor Tim if you have any questions, or issues registering.

​Retreat Fees
PLEASE NOTE: all retreat fees are subsidized by grant funding, so do not reflect actual costs

• Friday or Saturday overnight: $145 (private room - single) / $115 (shared room - double) - includes Saturday lunch and dinner, Sunday breakfast; PLEASE NOTE: Friday overnight technically costs an additional $25 compared to Saturday overnight because Saturday dinner is additional, but we are not asking participants to cover that cost

• Friday & Saturday overnight (as available): $225 (private room - single) / $195 (shared room - double) -includes Friday dinner, Saturday breakfast, lunch and dinner, Sunday breakfast; contact Pastor Tim if interested in staying both nights

We do everything we can to keep our retreats as affordable and accessible as possible. Please don't let cost be the reason you don't participate!

In addition, for those willing and able, contributions beyond the registration fee are welcomed to help support participant scholarships.
