With what am I in love …?  The energy that flows, the focus you feel, the risks you take, the very shape of your life:  love is at the root.  Who or what are those people, relationships, things, concepts, values, activities, even toys, that claim you most deeply?  For what do you work, are you willing to suffer?  Whose voice do hear in a crowd?  And how does your faith, God, the Spirit show up in all this?  Good stuff!

Our leadership for the Plymouth Men’s Retreat this year — we’re delighted to be able to announce — is coming from our own Interim Sr. Pastor Tom Stiers.  This will be a great chance for all of us to be with and learn from a man of deep wisdom, with one who has provided Plymouth with such loving and skilled leadership over the past year.

The Plymouth Men’s Retreat is coming up soon, so get the date onto your calendars:  March 12 – 14.  The Silent Retreat will run for one day prior, and will be led again by Tom Colwell.  The Silent Retreat will be, starting Thursday, March 11, then closing as the Men’s Retreat begins on Friday.  Sign-ups for either or both retreats will begin for three weeks on Sunday, February 21 and continue on to February 28 and March 7.  Costs are $90.00 per person ($86.00 Sr. 62+) for the Men’s Retreat; $139.00 ($125.50 Sr. 62+) for both retreats; Silent Retreat-only is $53.00 ($51.00 Sr. 62+), covering all meals and lodging.  Scholarship help is always available.

So put the weekend on your calendar, sign up, and come explore with other Men of Plymouth the depths of what makes you you.
