Busy Person Retreat: A great opportunity to incorporate some form of intentional prayer and spiritual growth into your busy life without ever leaving campus! All students, faculty and staff are encouraged to partake in this year's Busy Person Retreat, from February 12-26. The Busy Person Retreat has three components: time to pray (participants commit to 20 minutes of prayer on their own each day of the retreat); spiritual companions (participants will be matched with a spiritual companion with whom they may meet three times to discuss faith); and gatherings (there will be a kick-off event as well as an ending celebration).
