As part of my new membership in our parish vestry, I'm spending most of the weekend (starting this evening) up at the Cathedral Ridge conference center for our annual vestry retreat, wherein we get to know each other, discuss plans and strategies for the next year, talk God stuff, and things like that.
Of course, the picture doesn't exactly look like that right now, but the temps up there aren't much different from those down here in Denver, so I'm not too worried. I've been up there once before , and it's a nice place. It needs some serious work from the condition it was in when we bought it, but the core facilities are sound.
I seem to recall they had WiFi up there, so I won't be completely out of touch. But I probably won't be tweeting the proceedings, either.
Now, if I can just get my weekly status reports done for work, I can get on the move …
Cathedral Ridge
Retreat & Conference Center · A year-around get away to enjoy the beauty of the Colorado Mountains. Come away from everyday life to focus on business or to connect on a deeper level with God amidst the beauty of His creation.
I don't think that I've been on a weekend retreat in years. Coincidentally, my daughter is taking some youth on a confirmation retreat this weekend. I hope you find the weekend to be productive and refreshing.
