Retreat option

This is a guided spiritual journey as we travel together to discover the many Christian spiritual formation processes in our tradition and our lives. It is not intended for Church leaders only but for anyone who desires to deepen his or her love for God and for others. Everyone is a leader in Kingdom terminology. This will involve identifying the formative and transformative elements in our lives and our faith communities. It will also involve the practice of many spiritual disciplines; some old and some new.
