GROWING SPIRITUALLY IN THE 4 SEASONS
"Come to me . . . and I will give you rest. And you will find the rest for yourself."
~Mt. 11.28-29
“Be still and know that I am God...”
Retreats
A retreat is an opportunity to "come aside and rest awhile", a time to spend with God, a time to share with others, a time for
quiet reflections, a time to pray with others, a time to relax.
Retreat can vary in length from a day or evening to a weekend or a whole week; it can be in a group, or one on one.
