Retreats of all kinds offer spiritual, physical, and mental renewal as you spend time in a place free of your daily responsibilities. Jesus shows us on several occasions the importance of setting aside time for yourself and your relationship with God and others. The individual benefits of a retreat can include quiet time of peace and personal study, the chance to spend extra time enjoying a hobby, or even the opportunity to make new friends.
Unless otherwise noted, retreats start after dinner on Friday and end before lunch on the last day.

theme: Letters of Love
|
You’re invited to explore God's written letters of love—reminding us that we are special and set apart, welcome to bring our joys and our sorrows to God, and encouraged to keep our eyes fixed on the hope we have in Him.
Our time together will be based off of Jeremiah 31:3 “I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore I have continued my faithfulness to you,” and the story of the Israelites, their identity as children of God, their lament over their suffering, and God’s faithfulness throughout history. |
