Friday, March 9-Sunday, March 11
Kevin Saunders, MA, Bill Creasy, PhD and Rabbi Michael Mayersohn

The Biblical Prohpet is one of three main characters in the story of salvation (the other two being the Priest and the King). The role of the biblical Prophet is to listen to the voice of God and share this message with ancient Israel.  In this retreat Kevin Saunders, Dr. Bill Creasy and Rabbi Michael Mayersohn will all choose their favorite prophets from the Old and New Testament and develop the "back story" behind the man (or woman) prophet of their choice.  An opening session will define and explain the role of the prophet and then six separate lectures will introduce you to some of the Bible's finest spokespersons.

Retreat fee including meals: $135; with lodging $225 single, $175 double/per person
Check-in: Friday 5 pm; dinner 6 pm. Retreat ends Sunday, 1 pm.
