Abide Alumni Retreat

October 27-29, 2023


“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” – Matthew 11:28

About

Abide Retreats are three-day, two-night experiences to cultivate hearts that, every day, can connect with God as a present Father, Friend, and Helper. Through the meditative reading of Scripture, prayer, silence, and other spiritual exercises, we create a safe space for reflection in the company of others who share a similar journey of discipleship. These retreats are a time away for unplugging, refocusing on “abiding in the Vine,” and allowing Jesus to restore your soul.
