Live Responsibly, Die Thoughtfully
How to Navigate the Rest of Your Life with Intention and Grace

Our speaker is Johanna Munson, who will discuss her book and share her “Living Responsibly Roadmap.” 

Inspired by the different ways she experienced her mother’s and father’s deaths, Johanna will guide us through how to make hard decisions while also reassuring us that there is a thoughtful way to die – one that offers peace and grace.

You don't need to be a caregiver to attend.

For more information or to be a guest speaker, please contact Florrie Munat. 

You may find the Zoom link on this page.

This information, along with directions, a campus map, and the retreat program, is posted on our web page.

• When you arrive at Seabeck Conference Center, cross the bridge over the lagoon and follow the road to the right, past the Reeser and Tamarack buildings. Continue on up the hill toward the back of the property until you come to the Pines Building, which will be on your left. Park behind the building and enter through the back door. You will find welcomers with name tags, room assignments, carts for luggage, and other information.
• If you are arriving on Friday, please plan to arrive any time from 4:00 – 5:30 p.m. to check into your rooms. Social hour begins in the Pines Building at 5 p.m., and dinner is at 6 p.m.
• Daytrippers, when you arrive on Saturday, come right through the front door of the Pines Building. Morning Prayer begins at 9:15 a.m. in the Pines building, and our first session begins at 9:30 a.m. in the same building.
• Checkout is at 1 p.m. on Sunday (late checkouts incur a fee, so consider packing up and checking out early before lunch at 11:30.)
• Please note there is nursery care during the sessions on Saturday, and when appropriate, there will be fun alternate programming for kids and youth.
• If you have any questions about housing, please email Edith Cobourn. If you have questions about volunteering, please email Rachel Brandt. For questions about payment, please email Lindsay. For all other queries, please contact Kim.

When you arrive for the 9:30 a.m. Sunday service, please bring your children with you into the sanctuary; and feel free to sit by the altar near the Children’s Rug so your children can engage with others in quiet activities. After the Children’s Moment, they will be guided by their teachers to two learning spaces: one for younger children with more tactile storytelling and activities, and one for older children. Together, we build community through story, ritual, and fun activities before your children join you again for communion in the sanctuary. Youth are always welcome to join us as helpers for the younger children!

To reserve a pumpkin or sign up for the gutting contest, email Kim at kim@gracehere.org.

Steve writes: “What if God is not some imperious judge far away in heaven, but an intimate, life-giving presence, walking with you? What if God is not ‘a spirit,’ but Spirit, The Spirit, the living, loving Heart of Being, Love itself, living within you? What if God is an infinite fountain of life, blessing, and healing, and you are a vessel of that energy? And what if God is in conversation with you? God knows you from the inside, calls you by name, calls you to follow, calls you into a particular life, a particular way of living. God has given you gifts, gifts of God’s own being, God’s Spirit, inside you, gifts that are there for you to share. How do we encounter that God, open ourselves to that calling, and get in harmony with that energy? We'll explore that on this retreat.”

They have requested donations of travel-size toiletry items, including toothpaste, deodorant, razors, and shaving cream. If you have been traveling this summer, the small lotions, soaps, shampoos, etc. from motels/hotels are always welcome.

Please join us in providing these much needed and appreciated items. We will have baskets in the narthex during October and will package the donated items on Service Sunday, October 27th.

Thank you for your generosity!
