August in Montreat

News Corner

This weekend we will welcome over 600 women to our annual Women's Connection conference. Leadership for this year's event includes Amy-Jill Levine, Loli Reiter, Jaqueline Lapsley, Sofia Friedley Fernandez, and Rachel Paige Mastin. If you are not already signed up for the full conference and would like to join us for Amy-Jill Levine's keynote on Saturday night, you can purchase tickets by clicking here.


Make a trip to Montreat this fall! We are once again inviting guests to join us in Assembly Inn for a Fall Sabbath Getaway between September 5 and November 16. Take this opportunity to enjoy Montreat sans schedule, spending your time in prayer, studying, or reconnecting with nature. Make a reservation on our website.


Please be aware that we are now suggesting a $5 contribution for use of parking spaces at the trailheads around Lookout and Graybeard trails. This money will support the Wilderness Maintenance Fund which helps to offset costs for staffing, tools, supplies, administrative expenses, and general trail maintenance. Learn more.


If you are a pastor serving a small congregation, then you've got to check out Wee Kirk Conference! Wee Kirk offers support for pastors and their families through Christ-centered opportunities for inspiration, encouragement, and community. A variety of track options, each focusing on a different element of small church leadership, are available to participants based on interest. Learn more.

John Philip Newell will join us October 22-24 for our annual Earth & Soul Retreat. During this third installment in his three-year learning cycle, John Philip will focus on how we reawaken to the sacredness of the human imagination and prophetic vision through the teachings of Alexander John Scott, George MacLeod, and Kenneth White. Sign up here.


Registration for The Manna Retreat, our annual gathering for young adults, will open on Tuesday, August 12, at 10:00 am EDT. During this year's event, we will discuss prophetic voices and reflect on how we are invited to live courageously in response to God's call. Learn more.
