Take a week off, reconnect with God, enjoy fellowship, and discover the beautiful Lower Engadin in spring!
What to expect
In everyday life, we often lose sight of really counts in life. This week invites us to refocus our personal attention and (re)discover the treasures of life and faith. God reveals himself to us both in his glorious creation and in his unique Word—let us allow ourselves to be surprised and inspired by both during these days.
During this DISCOVER week we will explore Paul’s letter to the Ephesians together with Jonathan Halsey from England and rediscover what it means to be “in Christ” and “Him in us”! We will be reminded of what we have been saved from and what we are now called to, into this new life in Him! Refreshing and encouraging!
Each day, there will be two bible study sessions in the morning from 9:30 am to 12:00 pm and a lighter session in the evenings with worship, reflection and space for sharing. The afternoons are free for optional short hikes, bike tours, or other ventures in the valley. Of course, there will also be plenty of time to simply enjoy fellowship with playing games and haning out together.
Important: This week will be held in Englisch, so understanding Englisch decently will be essential. Most likely there will also be a bigger group of German speaking participants though.
Accommodation
We are planning to have both bigger accommodations “Palantschin” and “Plan Sura” available during this week to be able to host a few more people than during our regular programs. This way we can also offer more double rooms.
The meals and the sessions with Jonathan will take place on the top floor, in the group accommodation “Palantschin”.
