3. Construction Zone Zooms: opportunities for small group interaction all summer.

Renew Retreat Online
We weren’t able to have our Renew Retreat this spring, but since much of the time is spent in guided solitude, it is something you could do from home. Our God knows how to restore us, to bring back what has been lost, to renew what has been worn down. Will you let Him restore your mind and heart? Spend some time alone with God today, and be restored.
