  What is the Persons in Ministry Retreat?
The PIM Retreat provides an opportunity to relax, visit with colleagues, and get away for a few days.  We will have four sessions exploring ways to be attentive to the presence of the Holy in our everyday lives, with Dr. Bruce Epperly and his wife, Katherine Gould Epperly, as our guest presenters.

Dr. Epperly is the Director of Continuing Education and Professor of Practical Theology at Lancaster Theological Seminary.  He is also the author/co-author of 17 books, including Feeding the Fire and The Four Seasons of Ministry.  Rev. Katherine Epperly is an ordained minister in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and the UCC, and along with her husband is the co-pastor of Disciples United Community Church in Lancaster, PA.  Kate and Bruce's book, Tending to the Holy, was named 2009's Book of the Year by The Academy of Parish Clergy and will serve as the theme for this year's retreat.

Registration materials are available above.  The cost for this year's PIM Retreat will be $120 which includes all program materials and four meals (dinner on Monday, breakfast and lunch on Tuesday, and breakfast on Wednesday).  Rooms are approximately $101 per night.  The total cost will be about $323 for participants in a single room or $221 for participants who share a room with a roommate.
