St. Matthew's has a tradition of gathering in groups as a time for reflection and renewal.  A Men's retreat is usually held in the Fall of each year and a Women's retreat is held in the Spring.  They are open to all who are interested in time apart and they are also very fun!  These offerings take place on a short weekend at a retreat center near the Twin Cities.

The 2019 Men's Retreat [2]will be held October 26, 2019 at Christos Center, Lino Lakes.  Please see the Event page for more information, or contact Dan Johnson.

The Womens's Retreat was held June 7 - 8, 2019 at Dunrovin Retreat Center. In line with the theme Play, we enacted the Godly Play stories of two Biblical Women: Ruth and Dorcas (or Tabitha), and wondered together with us about their stories. There was also a drum circle and other creative activities. For questions about the women's retreat, please contact Laura Bathke.
