Through the Door of Hope
Led by Christopher Chapman
We live in a time when so much seems to be falling apart. Through the Door of Hope will explore the nature of hope, hope’s roots in the activity of God, and ways we can actively step into hope’s path. Hope is more than optimism or wishful thinking; it has its roots in a God who is always moving into how things are. The door of hope is always open and God steps through it with purpose and compassion. Through this same door we can step out in God into all that is broken apart.
Silent retreat with addresses. Suggested prayer and reflection exercises. 1 to 1 slots available.
