Antioch

Antioch is a weekend retreat held two times each year. It is a time for student to reflect more deeply together with other students on their commitment to their identity as Christian with the community. Student witness talks and small group sharing are key parts of the retreat - together with time for fun, quiet, and prayer together. Antioch is open to any student who has been in school more than one semester.

Busy Person Retreat

The Busy Person retreat is designed for people on the go who don't have time to get away for a day or a weekend. For each of four days, you meet for one half hour with a spiritual director, and pray for up to another half hour. This retreat is a great way to kick-start daily prayer and reflection and lead to a deeper relationship with God.

Spirituality and Dating Retreat

An ecumenical opportunity for students to explore the spiritual aspects of dating, discernment, and relationships. 9am-4:30pm at University Lutheran. We will have student and alumni talks concerning dating, singleness, and marriage, as well as a member of the ISU faculty to talk about the history of marriage in the Judeo-Christian tradition.

To sign up, or for more details, email spiritualityanddating@gmail.com




Spring Retreat

In the spring we often plan a 24-hour, topical retreat, based on the interests of the retreat team and needs perceived in the student community. This is an ideal opportunity for creative people to come together to plan a retreat that speaks to the hearts of people who may or may not have a close relationship with God. Typically this retreat is a small one, drawing 10-15 participants, which allows for lots of personal reflection and deep prayer. Contact campus ministers Shari or Emily (have our names like to our e-mail addresses) if you wish to be on the Spring Retreat team!
