About the Theme: “So whoever is in Christ is a new creation: the old things have passed away; behold, new things have come.” On our journey of faith, a “new creation” is the promise of transformation that comes from God’s generous grace. This retreat will explore in practical and prayerful ways what it means to become a new creation and to serve with a renewed sense of purpose and passion for life.
