5-Day Academy for Spiritual Formation

Clergy and Laity are invited to a retreat that will nurture body, mind and spirit. We will follow the rhythm of study, prayer, rest and community in a setting where morning and evening prayer and Holy Communion frame each day. We will learn from Rev. Michael Battle who will teach on African American Spirituality and from Rev. Roger Owens who will teach on What We Need is Here: Deepening Our Availability to God. The Trinity Center is the perfect location for retreat, situated in a 62-acre pristine maritime forest, with incomparable views and access to both the Bogue Sound and Atlantic Ocean. Enjoy comfortable rooms, delicious home cooked meals, and a wonderful community. This retreat is sponsored by the NC Academy for Spiritual Formation, the NC Conference of the UMC and the Upper Room.
