Fall 2024 Retreat Opportunities
​
Saturday, November 2, 9am-1pm: All Parish Retreat: Keeping Hope When the World Seems Hopeless with the Rev. Scott Gunn​
Cost is $45, which includes lunch.
Sometimes our world seems to be spinning out of control. Division and violence abound. Greed runs amok. Wisdom is rare. How are we to respond as people of faith? How can we keep hope when the world seems hopeless? In a day of reflection and prayer, the Rev’d Scott Gunn will remind us that our hope is best placed in God’s kingdom not in earthly kingdoms. We’ll look at some scriptures that can help us, and we’ll also learn from the example of some saints who lived in tough times and who kept their hope in Christ, witnessing to the world in powerful and enduring ways. Join us for the half-day retreat from 9am-noon at St. Thomas. Suggested donation is $45.
