Spend a reflective weekend on the mountain at Camp Mitchell for our annual women's retreat. You are invited to join us for Friday's Quiet Day, Saturday, or the full weekend retreat. Various packages, with or without housing or Quiet Day, are available.
This year's theme is "Exploring the Nesting Sisters in the Gospel of Mark." We will be led by the Very Reverend Cynthia Briggs Kittredge. She is Dean Emerita at Seminary of the Southwest in Austin, Texas where she served as Dean and President and Professor of New Testament. She is an Anglican biblical scholar, preacher, and poet. She serves on the staff of the Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd in Austin, Texas.
With heart, soul, mind, and strength, we will engage with Mark 5:21-34 and explore the nesting sisters there as icons of human faith and the life-giving power of God.
