Play Without Ceasing Day Event

A 5 to 7 hour workshop/retreat that balances fun group improvisational play with guided personal prayer time and group sharing for important take-aways that connect to their everyday lives and relationships.

Over the course of the day, participants learn to:

• Invite and welcome both stranger and friend (Hebrews 13:2)
• Pay attention to God and others (Exodus 15:26)
• Discover innate creativity (Genesis 1:27)
• Know when to say “Yes!” (2 Corinthians 1:17-20)
• Recognize the subtle ways we say “No” and what we miss (Matthew 8:19-22)
• Work in harmony as a group (1 John 3:11)
• Harness the power of good storytelling (Psalm 66:16)

For groups of up to 50 people (older teens and adults), this workshop/retreat shows participants how to recognize God’s invitations all around them, allowing them to follow God’s leading in their own lives.
No previous experience is necessary! The exercises are designed for all personality types and physical limitations will be accommodated. 

Improvisation and Freedom in Ministry:
