Jesus often went away -- to the wilderness, the mountain top, the garden -- to pray.  We also seek renewal with the Holy through camping and retreat

Synod School 2012 - Something for Everyone!

The Rev. Carol Howard Merritt is the keynote speaker. She is author of Tribal Church and Reframing Hope.

I will not miss this event!

Date: last week of July
Location: Buena Vista University, Storm Lake, Iowa

The week-long event is described in this year's brochure as “a special learning and personal enrichment experience for all ages.” The brochure notes, “The week is designed for laity and clergy, individuals and families. Classes and activities are available for adults, youth and children – some separately, some are intergenerational – to stretch the mind and nurture the soul.”

As one individual noted after last summer’s Synod School, “I didn’t know Presbyterians could gather together and have fun.” Another described Synod School as “an unexpected spiritual awakening – wow!”

In July 2009, Synod School drew more than 600 participants – a record number, with 200 youth & children.
