Bishops are also warmly invited. \nThis retreat is in-person and will not be live-streamed or recorded. Bishop Satterlee intends to provide other opportunities for conversation via Zoom. \nRetreat Information \nMonday\, October 16 – Wednesday\, October 18\, 2023\nBethany House\, St. Francis Retreat Center.\, Dewitt\, Michigan\n$180 – Fee covers food and lodging \nFinancial assistance is available for seminarians\, pastors and deacons of the North/West Lower Michigan Synod. Because of limited funds\, priority will be given to pastors and deacons under call and seminarians who have completed a preaching class. If you would like to request financial assistance\, please email communications@mittensynod.org. \nThe retreat is possible because of a generous gift from Ms. Christine Allen\, former secretary of the North/West Lower Michigan Synod. \nLearn More and Register
