UMV Network Pastor’s Retreat
Tuesday, September 23 to Wednesday, September 24
Led by Jeff Allen, Thrive Coaching Network
Guttenberg, IA
Every so often, a pastor needs a time where they can be among others who know the journey, its joys and its tribulations and everything in between. A time of rest, relationship and recovery.
If you are a pastor in the UMV, we encourage you to register today to invest in this time of getting away, together, as we seek to be FRUITFUL.
Together . . . we will
recognize the Journey from Survive to Thrive
look for Predictable Patterns for effectiveness
embrace our Landscape of Life
and be encouraged to take faithful steps toward what God is inviting us to
. . . in the Kingdom of God
On Tuesday, we will enjoy a one night stay on the Mississippi at The Landing, a delicious dinner at the PromiseLand Winery and on Wednesday a wonderful catered breakfast and lunch at the Guttenberg Marina Community Center (the location of our retreat both days).
We will begin at 2pm on Tuesday and conclude at noon on Wednesday. You have the option of joining us on a short guided cruise on the Mississippi after noon on Wednesday.
THERE IS NO CHARGE FOR THIS RETREAT. All lead and staff pastors are invited to attend. Space is limited, register TODAY!
