Pierce Center Soul Sabbath (Tuesday, February 18, 2025 )

The Pierce Center for Disciple-Building at Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary (Hamilton) is offering Soul Sabbath and we invite you to join us for a day of silence, worship, and prayer especially designed to nurture your soul.

When to Arrive, What to Bring

Plan to arrive at the retreat center no later than 8:45 a.m. (coffee and tea will be provided). At 9:00 we will gather as a large group for an introduction of the day and instructions on how you will use the remainder of your day. You will have your own time of silence and solitude indoors or outside, as well as group worship, a noon meal, and the option of meeting one-on-one with a spiritual director. The Soul Sabbath will conclude at 4:00 p.m.

Please bring your Bible, a journal, and a pen. That’s all unless you have a devotional book you want to bring. Leave behind the distractions. In the slowing, we pray you will hear God’s still, quiet voice. We are in prayer for you as you prepare for this day of Soul Sabbath.
