I am about to do a new thing;
Now it springs forth.
Do you not perceive it?
I will make a way in the wilderness
And rivers in the desert.
-Isaiah 43:19

Join Pastor Brian & Peri for a transformative retreat at the beautiful Lied Lodge in Nebraska City, Nebraska on March 19 - 21, 2026. In four presentations, Pastor Brian will talk about rivers in the materialist desert - like the four rivers that flow out of Eden in Genesis 2:
 1. Prayer
 2. Scripture
 3. Sacrament (including the sacrament of nature)
 4. Pilgrimage (of various kinds, including the pilgrimage of the soul)

Registration fees include meals served by Lied Lodge: Thursday dinner,  three meals on Friday, and breakfast on Saturday. Dietary restrictions and allergies will be considered, and accommodations will be made.

There are alternative options for food at Lied Lodge which are not included in the retreat fees. One restaurant on site is Timbers, voted one of the 50 most beautiful restaurants in America.  Between meals,  find a cozy place to read or gather and talk while enjoying an appetizer or drink in the Library Lounge.

Registration fees  have options for single and double occupancy at Lied Lodge. Options include rooms with a king bed or two queen beds. Room availability is based on a first come first served basis.

Total cost for food, lodging, and all events:

 $550 per person for single occupancy
 $425 per person for double occupancy

A non-refundable deposit of $275 for single occupancy and $215 for double occupancy is due at registration.

We invite you to stay over and join us for Sunday Worship at WOLC on Sunday, March 22. You must make your own plans for travel and accommodations on Saturday night. If you need assistance, please contact us.
