"God Loves You... No, Really!" -- Half-Day Retreat

Suggested donation: $45

Scratch just a little bit below the surface, and many long-time Christians still struggle to know and believe that God actually loves them.  This struggle manifests itself in dozens of ways, none of which are fun.  It works itself out in anxiety; fear of the future; frustration; the need for affirmation, success, and approval; addictions; over-hectic lives; stress; despair; depression; disorientation; and more.  It can lead to a long, exhausting, Christian life. 

Why is it that so many of us who have grown up around the Christian tradition can have such a hard time believing God’s love for us?

How can we hear the phrase “God loves me” over and over but still lose its meaning in our particular lives?

And more importantly, how can I come to really know God’s love… for me?  

During this mini-retreat, we’ll explore how we can know– really know– God’s love for you and for me.  Through some teaching, solitude, and guided reflection, we will put ourselves in a context where we can encounter God’s love for us, as individuals.

Breakfast and light refreshments will be provided.  Regarding COVID-19 and the Omicron variant, we will require all attendees (even vaccinated) to wear masks while indoors. We will have light refreshments available and we also ask that you keep your masks on even while eating and drinking and just pull them down slightly to take sips or bites.  We will also ask that you spread out in your seating and practice safe distancing from people not in your own unit! We’re all having flashbacks of summer 2020, but we want to be in person and we also want to keep you all as safe as we can!

Offered in partnership with Rock Recovery, a non-profit helping people of all stripes find freedom from eating disorders and body image issues.
