About this offering

Gather with fellow campus ministers at Mercy by the Sea for a day of reflection to reset and recharge. Give yourself the gift of time and space to renew your heart and ground yourself in grace.

The constant pace of the day-to-day life of a college campus minister can leave little time or energy to recognize the grace present amid all the tasks, conversations, and programs on your plate. Even in the somewhat slower pace of the summer months, there is the fall semester on the horizon. Step away for a day and come to the sea for rest and renewal.

There will be opportunities for individual reflection, experiences of prayer, the option for small group conversation if desired, and the gift of time and space to explore the sacred grounds. Lunch is included, and feel free to bring a beach chair, blanket, and anything that helps you relax and reflect.
