South Indiana church invites use of its Horizons House for retreats
Last summer, Horizons of Faith United Methodist Church of Indianapolis was blessed with an opportunity to purchase property adjacent to its church. The congregation quickly moved on the purchase, although it was not immediately clear how the property, consisting of two acres and a house, might be used.
Horizons House is now available. As a part of its desire to strengthen its shared conference connection, the church offers Horizons House to any one (lay or clergy) who seeks: time apart, personal retreat, sermon and teaching preparation, peace and quiet, a place "away from church" to have a small group, seminar or meeting or any spiritual or God-centered function.
Horizons House has a heated, air-conditioned Florida room on the back of the house, an interior living room, dining room and kitchen. The kitchen does NOT have an oven or stovetop but does have a refrigerator and a microwave. The house has two bedrooms upstairs with a twin bed in each. Overnight accommodations are limited.
Eight to ten people can comfortably use Horizons House during the day, or up to four people could stay overnight. Horizons House has a three-night limit, and Horizons of Faith Church may have it reserved. This facility is offered at no fee or charge. An opportunity to donate to the upkeep and maintenance of the facility is welcomed. Reservations are confidential. No one at the church will know your identity. Pastor Scott Cassel also is available for prayer or spiritual guidance.
For more information or to reserve Horizons House, contact Kim Horn, Horizons of Faith Church's administrative assistant, at hofumc@yahoo.com, or call 317-253-1785.
