10:00 am – 3 pm, at St. James’ Episcopal Church
with The Rev. Glenice Robinson-Como
All of us are called by the Jesus who says, “Love one another,” to care for each other in community. Whether that’s at home, at church or work, or on the level of city government, each of us, regardless of age, plays a role in the spiritual work of building community. And each of us runs into obstacles that challenge our compassion and put us to the test. This retreat is designed to equip you for the journey by giving you some tools for resilient, Christ-shaped caring.
