Psalm 46:10

Come and commune with God and nature on 12 acres in farm country!
Enjoy a 12 acre farm site. The Spirituality Center includes an early 20th century two story Sears brick farm house, a 3 bedroom cabin, a barn, fire pit, volley ball area, and pond. Both houses are fully stocked for convenience with modern kitchens, bed linens, and air conditioning.
The Persell House is an ideal place to host a vestry day, staff building day, or an overnight retreat. The center provides a tranquil setting for private retreats for clergy and spouses/partners.
Built in 1902, the Persell House was ordered from Sear's Catalogue. It's oak molding and front porch swing evoke a time of simple life style, and quiet contemplation.
You can reserve one building or both depending on your needs. Liturgical supplies are available for your use. For more information, please call the church office at 815-725-6800, or e-mail your request to kwhite@secec.net
The Great Barn completes the spiritual
center buildings. With the labyrinth
painted on the barn floor and a hoop
for shooting baskets, the barn offers
ample opportunities for physical
activity even during incliment weather.
