Bread & Belonging: A Formation Leaders Retreat
Join formation leaders across the Diocese of North Carolina for an overnight retreat of prayer, rest and play. We’ll pray with our whole bodies, rest and delight in God’s word, and imagine new possibilities for building relationships across generations. You’ll leave with practical ideas, peer connections–and bread dough to bake off at home! Durham-based baker and writer Kendall Vanderslice will lead our hands-on Saturday program to help us connect the rhythms of bread-breaking to the rhythms of liturgy.
This retreat is especially designed for formation leaders who minister with children, youth and families, but all are welcome.
Space is limited, and registration will close at 5 p.m. on Monday, August 24. We will maintain a waiting list if the retreat reaches capacity.
A $25 deposit holds your space. We will provide:
- Friday dinner
- Saturday breakfast and lunch
- Private overnight accommodations with parking
- All materials
Financial support is available. Please contact the Rev. Kelly Ryan, canon missioner for discipleship, to request a scholarship or raise any questions.
The overnight accommodations will be 0.5 miles away at Hyatt Place Greensboro Downtown, 300 N Eugene St., Greensboro. We will make your reservation for you.
