Fall Retreat 2024

Friday, October 11 to Sunday, October 13, 2024

Theme: Listening to the Voice of God

What’s life all about? Where do I belong? How can I find meaning and purpose? And what’s that all got to do with Christianity?

Fall Retreat is an opportunity to listen in to honest conversations about things that matter.
