Northeast Deanery Retreat

March 16-18, 2023

Camp Pinnacle; Albany, NY

Dear NE Deanery,

Our deanery retreat begins three weeks from today!

Three great reasons to be excited for our time together.

One, it is the time each year when our clergy, ordinands, and key leaders from around the deanery have a chance to spend time together and hear what God is doing in our churches and homes. You can see the retreat itinerary and details here.

Two, we will continue in our theme of rest and rhythm from the synod and convocation by offering a guided, 24-hour silent retreat beginning Thursday at noon.

I know that our lives are busy and that it will be tempting to skip this quiet time and jump right to business. I strongly encourage you to attend the silent retreat. As we were reminded in November: We all need rest and rhythm - maybe clergy most of all. You can see the silent retreat details here.

Three, Bishop Steve will be joining us for both days of the retreat. We look forward to hearing from Bishop Steve and he looks forward to hearing reports from our churches and clergy.

We have not heard from several of you yet. Now is the time to register by following the direction here.

Peace,

Brian+
