For Everything There Is A Season

March 14—15, 2015
Mar-Lu-Ridge Retreat Center, Jefferson, MD

Retreat Leaders: Pastor Brian Erickson and Pastor Steve Holm

Our guest presenter, Pastor Steve Holm, is a wonderful story-teller. He will share three stories during the retreat, and then we will have a chance after each to reflect on what meaning these stories have for our own lives. The stories revolve around a family reunion, and will lead us each to look at the question: “Where am I going in my life right now?” In the process we will look at experiences of anticipation, hope, love, guilt, grace, forgiveness, and acceptance.

Registration Information:
$65 per person or $100 per couple. Registration includes transportation from Faith Lutheran Church (in the van), program, four meals and lodging.
