Trés Dias Weekends

January and February 2012

 

Trés Dias is many things: a spiritual retreat, a "course" in Christianity, small groups, Christian leadership, and spirituality with roots in the Spanish Catholic Cursillo de Cristiandad retreats. There will be a Men's Trés Dias Retreat January 12-15 and a Women's Trés Dias Retreat February 9 - 12. Both retreats take place at Camp Mechuwana on Lake Annabessecook in Winthrop, ME.


Trés Dias of Maine offers a three-day interdenominational spiritual retreat. It's held several times during the year. It's not just a time of recharge and renewal but a chance to study with and rub shoulders with Christians from other faith traditions. Participants run the gamut from Lutheran to Episcopalian to Catholic to Baptist to floaters-in-denominational-limbo. That's one of the great things about this retreat--it's not nondenominational, it's interdenominational, where we can celebrate even doctrinal differences.

 

The three days include worship times with both responsive readings and liturgy and more casual guitar-powered singing; prayer including written prayers, spontaneous prayers, silent prayers, and personal quiet time; talks delivered both by laypeople and by clergy from several different denominations, ranging on topics from Sacraments, to grace, to obstacles to the Christian life.

 

 

 

 

 

If you are interested in attending, applications must be submitted by 12/22/11 for men and 1/19/12 for women. There is a nominal fee, but scholarships are available.
