Join us for a free, half-day spiritual retreat - lunch will be provided!Though free and open to all, REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED - Deadline Sept 13.
When we answer the call of Jesus, “Follow me,” we begin an incredible, lifelong journey of faith. Yet even with our certainty in the One we long to follow, we may often wonder (especially in these trying times): How do we “let love lead” us…
to guide each step when the path is unclear?
to love the people who journey with us (even the difficult ones)?
to persevere when the path seems arduous, intimidating, or lonely?
to deepen in faith—in our trust, peace, and love for the long haul?
Our time together will be an opportunity to thoughtfully and prayerfully discuss these questions—and how God’s Purpose, Presence, Pace, and Peace can supply and sustain us—together in community with pauses for personal reflection. May we come away from our morning with new insights for our faith journey, deeper friendships, and the peace that comes from time away in prayerful reflection with God and with one another.
