"It is time. It is TIME! Now, we will take time to SEE one another. God bless us as we endeavor this “new” experience this year!” exclaims JB Brayfindley, president of the California-Nevada UMC Conference Clergy Spouse Association (CSA). “I hope you can set aside this weekend of time to be together once again in person.”
Clergy Spouse are signing up now for an in-person retreat on Friday afternoon, April 21 to Sunday lunch April 23, 2023 at Mercy Center Retreat Center in Auburn, California. The cost is $240 with scholarships available. For more information call registrar Ray Jellison at (916) 783-8793 or mail check to 252 Carriage Lane, Auburn, CA 95603 to reserve a spot.
“I know there is not much time for people to put this on their calendars but hopefully their calendars will have space for this set aside weekend of time to be together once again! Yay!” adds Tupou Fakava-Smith, CSA secretary. “Looking forward to seeing you all in April.”
The Association has hosted Spring retreats for years but canceled recent retreats due to the pandemic. This is the first retreat since 2019.
