Let's Take a Walk
March 8-11, 2009

View photos from last year's retreat

Christians are called to a unique walk, the journey of a lifetime.

Scripture is filled with comings and goings, arrivals and departures. As Jesus walked with his friends, his followers today walk with him still.

This retreat offers an opportunity to reflect on our life as travelers in his company.

Workshops will be led by the Anglican Fellowship of Prayer.
