Of a similar retreat in

“The most important elements for me were the moments
of stillness and meditation. I also loved dipping into the Bible and
remembering the people who influenced me.”
“I loved the calmness and reflective nature of the
retreat. It is especially good to have it in a ‘neutral’ church.”
“I loved the intimacy and spirituality of sharing our
beliefs.”
“Getting to know new people from the church
community.”
