It will be a time of spiritual reflection and renewal. This weekend retreat is designed to create the space for quiet reflection, time away from the burdens of daily life, spacious time in nature, conversations with other men of faith, and worship. God is calling us to something else, to be someone else-to be our true selves. Nor is it life-giving to those whom we love and serve. We are taught to perform, but it’s a show God does not need, and it does not sustain us.
