“Seeking the Light”
One of the powerful Biblical images of God’s presence is light – “a light that shines on those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death.” It is the hope of Israel that this light would be given to them with the coming of the Messiah, and it is this light that we anticipate in the Advent season. In this retreat we will contemplate the great longing expressed in the Hebrew Scriptures; and the light that dawns in the communities and hearts of the followers of Jesus as witnessed in the New Testament.
Date: December 13 – 15, 2019
Time: Starting at 4:00pm
Cost: From $210 – $240 (depends on room choice)
