Faith, hope, and love. Comforting words that easily skip over our lips. We know that we should have
them be a stronger part of our daily lives. Yet, in a world chock-full of stress and worry, do we have
time to “faith” and hope and love in ways that are courageous, and comforting?
This one-day retreat invites you to set aside, for a few hours, all cares and concerns and simply
remember how to believe and hope and love in a God who believes and hopes and loves us.
How will we remember? Through story, prayer and laughter. Through these three gifts we will help
each other rediscover faith where we least thought it possible; hope where we expected despair; and
love where we expected nothing.
The goal of this retreat is to see “transformation” in ways we never thought possible.
Participants are invited to bring a notebook or journal. Please plan to spend the day. Bring a bag
lunch. Drinks will be provided.
