Join us for a restorative and transformative weekend of prayer, meditation, and fasting from January 16 -18, 2026, in a peaceful retreat setting in Greeley, PA. This is a sacred opportunity to step away from the noise of daily life and rest in God’s presence.
Join us this winter as we journey into the life and teachings of Julian of Norwich, a 14th-century Christian mystic whose timeless visions and theology continue to speak powerfully to the heart of our modern age. Through William Meninger's profound and accessible commentary, Julian of Norwich: A Mystic for Today, we’ll explore the depth of Julian’s visions of Divine Love, the Trinity, and the profound hope she offers in uncertain times.
What is Christian Meditation? In the quiet moments of Christian meditation, we find the other side of our conversation with God, often overlooked in the busyness of our prayers. Prayer, where we express gratitude and lay our requests before Him, is like a dialogue. Yet, in the hush that follows, we often forget to await His response. Unlike prayer, which involves talking and thinking, Christian meditation is about being still and attuning ourselves to God's voice, listening with openness to whatever He may share with us. It's a sacred pause, a moment to hear His gentle whispers. Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him. -Psalm 37:7
That You May Believe: Exploring the Gospel of John
Sundays | 2:30 – 4:00 PM
March 1 – April 12, 2026
The Gospel of John is written with a clear and compelling purpose:
“That you may believe … and have life in His name.” (John 20:31)
This 7-week study will follow a thematic journey through John’s Gospel during the Lenten season, leading us toward Easter. Rather than moving verse-by-verse through every chapter, we will explore the key signs, teachings, and encounters that reveal Jesus’ identity and mission.

Spiritual Direction & Christian Counseling
Sometimes the most meaningful spiritual growth happens in the presence of a trusted companion.

Is this you?
• Do you struggle with distractions during prayer?
• Do you long for greater peace and calm in your life?
• Are you curious about the historic Christian practice of meditation?
If so, this training may be exactly what you’ve been looking for.
Many Christians know how to pray, but few have learned how to be still long enough to listen.
Christian meditation is the practice of resting in the presence of God—quieting the mind, opening the heart, and allowing God to do His work within us.
In this 90-minute seminar, you will learn how meditation can deepen your relationship with God while bringing greater spiritual awareness, emotional balance, and interior peace into your daily life.
