“The Meaning of the Death of Jesus”
All men are invited to a retreat to be held at the Holmes
Presbyterian Camp and Conference Center in Holmes, New York, on Friday evening,
February 24, and Saturday, February 25, 2012 (8AM-3PM). The focus of the retreat, scheduled as it is
on the first weekend in Lent, will be on the meaning of the death of Christ, a
central topic in Christian theology known as “the atonement.” Such discussion is by no means merely
theoretical or abstract, but deeply personal, shaping our faith and the way we
live our lives. Leadership will be
provided by our Senior Minister, Michael Lindvall.
The cost for the retreat is $125, and includes three meals
together in motel-like accommodations in the Agape Center at Holmes. Holmes
Presbyterian Conference Center is located about an hour’s drive north of the
City. We will begin on Friday evening
with fellowship and informal getting together from 5:30-7PM, have dinner on
Friday evening at 7PM, join together between 8-10PM for preliminary
discussions, and conclude mid-afternoon on Saturday. Transportation will be arranged by car-pool. [For driving directions, go to the Holmes

Please know how welcome you and all men – both church
members and others – are to this weekend of study, reflection, and fellowship.
