An Invitation from Richard J. Foster and Chris Webb

Dear Friend, We do hope you will join us for our Third Biannual RENOVARÉ Covenant Retreat. While everyone is invited to our time together, our main goal is to create space for prayer, reflection, and fellowship for those who have committed themselves to the RENOVARÉ Covenant. Joining us and serving as primary resource people will be Rev. Peter Mutisya from Kenya and Pastor Trevor Hudson from South Africa. We are so pleased that Pastor Peter and Trevor will be with us, both sharing from their African perspective and for helping us better understand the blessings and challenges for RENOVARÉ on the continent of Africa. We very much look forward to this time together, and hope you will join us. Peace and joy, Chris Webb and Richard J. Foster

Retreat Focus – Living the Gospel Life

In the midst of movement, stillness; involved, yet withdrawing; among people, yet finding solitude. Jesus’s life as presented in the Gospels provides us a vision for living we are invited to embrace. Pastor Peter and Trevor will walk us through the Gospels, with Jesus from birth to resurrection. We will discover a rhythm of life that encourages us to pursue the with-God life, and in so doing to find rest for our souls.

Teaching sessions will include:
• Walking with Jesus Into the Water: The Hidden Life and Baptism of Jesus
• Walking with Jesus in the Desert: The Temptations of Jesus
• Walking with Jesus Along with Others: The Call of Jesus to Discipleship
• Walking with Jesus Up and Down the Mountain: The Transfiguration of Jesus
• Walking with Jesus Into Jerusalem: The Palm Sunday Events
• Walking with Jesus on the Downward Journey: The Footwashing
• Walking with Jesus to the Cross: The Good Friday Events
• Walking with Jesus Beyond the Tomb: The Easter Sunday Events

Where We Gather – Winter Park, Colorado
Located 80 miles west of Denver, Colorado, at an elevation of 8,750 feet, YMCA of the Rockies Snow Mountain Ranch Center is nestled on 5,100 acres next to the picturesque Arapahoe National Forest in the heart of Colorado’s Rocky Mountains. With an abundance of wildlife during all seasons, cool mountain breezes, and brilliant sunshine create a superb environment for refreshing your spirit and enjoying natural beauty. While there is an abundance of choices for things to do and places to see on-site, a nearby interest is the village of Winter Park. Towns of Summit County like Dillon, Silverthorn, and Breckenridge are also relatively close, and Rocky Mountain National Park is not too far away. We will have a wonderful time August 3-7, and the RENOVARÉ Covenant Retreat could serve as a beginning or ending to a summer vacation in Colorado and the Rocky Mountain Region.
