Labor Day Retreat Sign-up (August 30th - September 1st)
WHY?
We have witnessed how the Nazarene Churches in Palo Alto and Santa Clara have shut their doors. But while mourning over that ending, we celebrate a new beginning:
the birth and growth of a network of communities on mission planted throughout the Silicon Valley / San Jose metro. This network of Communities on Mission is Trinitas Silicon Valley. Let us join in replanting Santa Clara Church of the Nazarene as Trinitas Church Silicon Valley, or Trinitas SV.
As we partner with Trinitas Silicon Valley, under the umbrella of the Church of the Nazarene, we journey together with a newly formed community.
The hope of this time would be to get the people together who are going to go on this journey for prayer, teaching, ministry, and community-building.
We want to start with an extended time together as a spiritual family to renew our focus on God, recommit to pursuing Christ's Kingdom in Silicon Valley, and seek the Spirit's empowerment.
WHEN: from around 3pm on August 30th - 11am on September 1st
WHERE: St Francis Retreat in San Juan Bautista: https://www.stfrancisretreat.com (549 Mission Vineyard RD., San Juan Bautista, CA 95045)
WHAT: A three-day retreat centered around community-building, prayer + worship, teaching, rest, and fun.
COST AND PRICING: The cost for the whole retreat is $310 per person, but we will be asking you to get as close as you can to $200 per person. Danny and I will be working to fundraise some of the other costs, and we plan to subsidize some of the cost from our existing budgets. EVERYONE WHO WANTS TO COME WILL BE ABLE TO COME! After filling out this sign up form you will receive further information concerning the payment.
If you would like to cover your full cost $310, that would be great! Additionally, if you would be willing to sponsor someone else by contributing over the $310 per person costs, that would be great as well!
DAY GUESTS: We can accommodate as many day guests as needed on Sunday. The full Sunday day cost (including all meals) is $90. We ask you cover your whole day cost if you plan to come as a day guest.
