The Spiritual Retreat At Taizé, France
Travel July 24 - August 4, 2008     

You Are Invited!

If you are between 15 and 29 years of age, you are invited to join Bishop Devadhar and chaperones on a weeklong spiritual development experience.  Additional adults may request to attend as space provides opportunity. The group will leave the USA on July 24 and return on August 4, 2008.  Pilgrims must be approved by pastors and sponsored by churches of the Greater NJ Annual Conference.  Only those pilgrims who have parental consent will be permitted to travel with the group.  Every pilgrim will be required to enter into the Taizé retreat covenant.

Churches are urged to pay the cost of the pilgrimage experience.  It is a unique investment in spiritual development.  The funds expended will provide personal, church, and conference benefits for years to come.  Adult pilgrims are strongly urged to travel to Taizé, but it should be clear that the focus of this pilgrimage, and this week at Taizé, is Youth & Young Adults.
