The purpose of this congregational retreat is to :
- join our hearts and minds as a congregation seeking God’s will
- envision our church as God’s people of salt and light (Matthew 5:13-16)
- provide input to expressing a guiding vision for our future
Here is what you can expect to experience:
- Fun and entertainment as talented members delight us with music
- Love and memories as we celebrate our “3 digit” members
- A time of sharing your thoughts, hopes, and dreams with others in a small grouping
- Reflect on the importance of discerning God’s dream for our church
This is what we invite you to do:
- Join in all the parts of the retreat
- practice the gift of listening
- Be adventuresome in imagining God’s future and sharing
- Have fun while taking part in a very important day!
