Why come to a Faithbooking retreat - I don't scrapbook!

A faithbooking retreat is a beautiful time to ponder about God's actions in your life.  This could be the perfect ‘get-a-way’ opportunity. "Gift" yourself this special time away. You are worth it!  You simply provide yourself an opportunity to BE in God’s presence.  There are no expectations – no “supply list,” no directions, no requirements.  It is a weekend of your own design. If you’ve attended before, you know how priceless this time away is.  For those of you who have never been, let us explain what a “Faithbooking” retreat is.

Faithbooking at its core means creating a tangible expression of one’s faith!  Some choose to create a chronological scrapbook album in which they record their faith journey.  Some also have a notebook where they record meaningful phrases, scripture passages, and other words that inspire them.  All are continual works in progress.  

Some examples:
-journaling about times when you felt touched by God,
-writing a letter to someone to thank them for when they were “God-like” to you,
-knitting a prayer shawl,
-painting a picture,
-creating faith-related cards,
-collecting your favorite scriptures into a notebook
-gathering photos of sacred places

BUT even before you can create anything tangible – you need to take time to ponder or meditate on the many blessings in your life.  When was the last time you took that time – to just gather thoughts on the workings of God in your life.  This retreat can simply be your opportunity to be present and LISTEN to God.
