Reflections on Forgiveness, A Soul Care Day for Women

Join us for a day of Lenten reflection on forgiveness -- God's forgiveness for us and our forgiveness for ourselves and others. As we step out of our busy schedules into this spacious place we will spend time in God's Word, listen to His voice, and receive healing and hope as we are silent together.

There will be corporate times of guidance and sharing along with plenty of time for silence and solitude. A simple lunch and all materials will be included.
