Are you ready for a break following Easter? Whether you are an installed teaching elder, commissioned ruling elder, transitional pastor, or other church leader, the season of Lent is a busy one! After we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ, come and rest.
PC(USA) leaders and other friends of Massanetta who have previously attended programs are welcome to join us anytime from April 21-25 at no cost. Arrive on Monday and stay for all four nights, or come for any part of these days. Family members are welcome to join you!
We provide lodging and a free buffet breakfast on Tuesday morning at 8:30. There are many other dining options available in the Harrisonburg area to enjoy during the rest of your stay.
Did we mention it’s free?
registration is closed.
Please note: as of 3/7, there is a waitlist for Hubler Lodge. We still have plenty of space available in Richardson.
Hubler Lodge is available for those who can check out by 10AM Thursday 4/24. (Easter is late this year, and we have a longstanding partnership to honor that weekend!) These hotel-style rooms with two queen beds and a private bathroom are available first come, first served basis.
Richardson is available for those wanting to stay for the full week. Private suites are available for individuals and families. There are several suites with queen beds, which will be available first come, first served by request.
All PC(USA) church leaders are welcome, as well as partners from other denominations who have attended or led programs at Massanetta previously. Questions? Reach out to Colleen, our Program Director, at colleen@massanettasprings.org.
We offer breakfast on Tuesday, but otherwise don’t heavily program the Easter Respite. This is your time to rest! Sometimes, game nights or golf outings are organized.
This year, we have a new program offering coinciding with the Easter Respite: Community Meals, a Wednesday pay-what-you-can lunch. Learn more here.
In addition to resting here on site, there is much to do in and around Harrisonburg! Colleen Earp, our Program Director, moved to the area when she joined the staff in fall 2021. Click below for some of her favorite place she’s found so far, including coffee shops, food, hiking, and more.
