Women’s Spring Sabbath Retreat

“Women Who Sing!” is the theme of our annual Women’s Spring Retreat, which takes place Friday, June 9, through Sunday, June 11, at the Community of St. John Baptist in Mendham, New Jersey.

Our guest instructor is the Rev. Barbara Piercy, retired minister of music, who will lead us in discovering the stories of Biblical women who sing and learning how we can include song in our own faith journeys. The weekend also will include Bible study, worship, group conversation, and times for personal meditation and reflection. This is a wonderful opportunity to get to know other Fifth Avenue women in a peaceful, relaxing environment.

The retreat begins with dinner on Friday and ends following lunch on Sunday. The cost for the weekend is $250, which includes six meals, a private room with shared bathroom, and all activities. Registration deadline is Tuesday, May 30.
