Second Saturday Spiritual Retreats This Summer

Read these powerful words of reflection from Dee Lindstrom's spiritual retreat experience:

"I couldn’t get out of the sanctuary fast enough to where He led me to a sweet quiet spot with that music softly playing. I just sat there and wept for almost 2 hours straight. Years and years of tears…sometimes I would write just words that would come into my mind. I had pleaded with the Lord the night before to please meet me there, to talk to me. He did. The above roots that had settled in my heart began to break loose, walls crumbled. I began to picture Jesus at the end of the couch facing me just listening. Listening. Listening with no sign of annoyance or disgust or hurriedness about Him, just lovingly listening." - Dee Lindstrom

Our spiritual retreats are an opportunity to set aside focused time to hear from the Lord, meditate on His Word, and rest in the peace that comes only from Him.

June 10, July 8, and August 12 we will have spiritual retreats on campus from 8:30am—1:00pm. We will provide guidance, quiet space, and breakfast and lunch, and the Lord will provide the rest. Email [email protected] to register.
