Spiritual Renewal
We pour our lives out every day for our students. Jesus poured his life out for us. But we don’t often make time to receive the rest, refreshment, and renewal he promises for our weary souls. We are just too busy. Too distracted.
We cannot effectively invite our students into an abiding, intimate relationship with God if we ourselves are drained and depleted. And so we offer this gift to you: a day set aside in a beautiful space to encounter, hear from, and respond to God in guided reflection, times of solitude, and times of prayer.
