CEC

Christians Encounter Christ

Omaha, Nebraska

CHRISTIANS ENCOUNTER CHRIST (CEC)

Spirit-filled. Belonging. Head to heart.


A 2.5 day ENCOUNTER of a LIFETIME!


CEC is more than a one-time retreat, presenting an opportunity to step away from everyday routines to reflect upon how your personal life and spiritual journey is going.

 

As you come on Friday evening as a participant, you will be greeted by other men/women who have previously attended a CEC weekend and serve to help as the weekend unfolds.         
Throughout the weekend, you will hear meaningful talks & personal stories from clergy and

other men/women of faith, as well as engage in shared meals, mass, self-reflection,

& group activities. 


You will learn ways to grow in faith - how to know, love & serve God more & find Him in all moments of daily life.  Often participants are moved in profound ways through the grace of the Holy Spirit that can be life-changing. 


A person can come away with a clearer sense of priorities in life & faith, new friendships, and a closer relationship with God.  Men & Women attend separate weekends.  If married, couples are both encouraged to attend a CEC weekend.


We invite YOU to join us!

CEC is held at Columban Fathers, Bellevue, NE.

All-inclusive cost $150 for food & lodging. Financial scholarships available.

Pre-registration necessary.

WHAT OTHERS SAY...
"This was one of the most memorable, beautiful moments of my life.  Beyond
grateful for this experience.  The love, warmth, acceptance that allowed me to be vulnerable, and let Christ come into my heart." - SW​​


There are two ways we can come to KNOW God, intellectually with our mind

and experientially with our heart.  

Jesus, literally went from my head to my heart, "in between" this CEC weekend experience 

AND it has made ALL the difference in my life & faith, both then and now - CT
