Please contact Alicia Harris for more information. \n \n Retreat Registration\n \nA Video Message from Our Retreat Speaker\, Sarah Morris\n https://vimeo.com/1065116389?share=copy \nSarah will share messages on the topicDon’t Just Show Up – Belong:How to survive\, grow\, and thrive in the often dysfunctional family that is the Church \nSession 1 – What are we even doing here?What is the Church supposed to be doing? What is her purpose? What is the point? And how do we fit it? Are we resigned to endless nursery duty and casseroles? Our church believes in male-only ordination and elder-led authority\, so do women even matter? Where do we find our place\, our purpose\, and our identity in the Church? \nSession 2 – Lord\, it’s these people you gave me!Okay\, so I know what I’m supposed to do\, and why I’m supposed to do it. The theoretical vision is there; I’m tracking. But do I really have to work with her? How am I supposed to deal with him? Why are reformed Presbyterians so incredibly off-the-charts weird?! Lord\, you gave me a church family\, but couldn’t You have chosen different people? Why them?!? \nSession 3 – When Christians don’t act like ChristiansSo the Bride of Christ has been acting a bit more like a bridezilla\, and you’re collateral damage. What next? How are you supposed to love the Church when its people have hurt you so deeply? You want to heal\, but you’re growing more and more bitter\, suspicious\, and angry. Is there any justice? Is there any hope for such a dysfunctional group of people? Is forgiveness possible\, and do they even deserve it? \nOf these topics\, Sarah writes\, “These questions in all three sessions are hard\, complicated\, and sensitive issues. There are no easy answers\, simple fixes\, or quick solutions. But that’s family relationships for you\, right? The Bible isn’t silent about any of these things\, and our Savior calls us to great heights of love\, patience\, and forgiveness. But He also is full of grace and compassion\, and His mercies are blessedly new every morning.” \nRegister Today!Please register for this special time together using the button above.

And yet\, during those days…even then…God the Father worked his will. \nThe church has observed this service of Tenebrae (Latin meaning the darkening) in some form since the 12th century.
