Still Waters – Covenant Bay Bible Camp

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

Still Waters is a retreat for ages 17+ with the purpose of slowing down and reconnecting with God. Leave behind your busy schedule, overwhelming commitments, and the distractions of everyday life. Connect with other adults, in prayer, calm, and time to reflect on Gods goodness and creation.

Sometimes to find the joy, calm, and peace we have been missing, we have to leave behind the chaos that can get in the way.

Some activities will be provided through the weekend as suggestions rather than mandatory and they will all be focused on the fostering of time in nature, connection with God, and stillness of the spirit.

Group Prayer/Reflection

We will read scripture together, ruminate on its meaning and context for our time together, and share those things as we go. There will also be time for intentional prayer, both as a whole and in small group settings.

Through the weekend, we will reflect on several sections of scripture. We will focus primarily on our ability to listen while giving God our attention through stillness and solitude.

Solitude & Silence

Spending some time in intentional solitude and silence can be challenging. This type of reflection and time will allow us to focus on listening to God with time and space, rather than demanding an answer on our own time and in our own will.

God speaks through the whispers of the winds - to hear those, we often have to slow down our own life and mind enough to be present and aware of the wind.

Alternative Worship

This is worshiping and glorifying God in ways OTHER than song. Think about art, working with your hands, gardening, walking, reading, resting, and journaling. All ways we worship God in our way - giving time to these things to become attuned and aware of how the Holy Spirit present in our life.

Sunrise Prayer & Gratitude

Watching the sunrise as a group and giving God thanks for how he has blessed and provided for us. The practice of gratitude can help shift perspective and bring clarity to life's circumstance.
