2025 Retreat Theme

"Finding Our Home in God — All Over Again"

It can be hard to feel grounded in these days, let alone joyful. Together we will create a nurturing space to focus on our relationship with God. With the help of Scripture, song, ancient practices and fresh perspectives, we will, by grace, hit the re-set button on our lives of faith, and find new empowerment and hope.
