Friday 5/31 - Sunday 6/2 at God's Mountain - Mountain Retreat Center In the Poconos

Speaker: Jayne V. Clark

She is the author of Single and Lonely: Finding the Intimacy You Desire, as well as several articles published in the Journal of Biblical Counseling. When she’s not working, you can usually find her reading, watching British dramas, playing on her iPad, getting together with friends, or puttering around the house.

Theme: "Pressed for Rest"
Tired? Frazzled? Worn out? Wishing you could rest but don't know how? Resting on the outside, but restless on the inside? Then join us to explore what the Bible has to say about rest, why we find it so challenging, and how the prospect of future rest can change the way we live today. If you're pressed for rest, this retreat is for you.
