About the Theme:
The call of the gospels is to become a new creation in the Risen Christ. It is the profound belief that each and every person, made in God's image and likeness, can be restored and renewed in Christ. No matter where we are on our journey, God offers the possibility of a new beginning. 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.
