Celebrating our 10th Anniversary!

Thank you to the 100+ guests who joined us for a wonderful weekend with Bishop Steven Biegler.  Check out photos of the Beatitudes Retreat here!

Most of our jobs–whether we work for the church or in the business world–have some degree of administrative work involved in them.  We often talk about this aspect of our work with some distain: It takes us away from the work that we most want to be doing!  But opportunities for spiritual growth abound, even in the most unexpected of places.  Join us June 9-10, 2022 for this uplifting, and sure to be humorous, workshop!  Find out more and register here.

Tentatively scheduled for December 9-11, 2022, Dr Mary Heal will wrap up our year of celebration with a weekend of learning more about encountering Jesus, experiencing His Love and embracing His Gift through Scripture. Registration information coming summer of 2022! Find out more here.
