“Let us go over to the other side”…
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, this weekend 60 of our ladies attended the ACTS retreat. (30 retreatants and 30 team members). I would like to thank and congratulate all of them. The term "retreat" means "to draw back, withdraw, call back". Church retreats can be important for several reasons, including:
Spiritual growth: Retreats provide a chance to focus on God and one's relationship with Him, away from the distractions of everyday life.
Community building: Retreats allow church members to interact and bond in a different setting, which can lead to greater understanding, empathy, and unity.
Personal discipleship: Retreats can be a time to commit to personal growth and accountability.
Prayer and worship: Retreats offer uninterrupted time for prayer and worship, without the constraints of time or external pressures.
Personal conversion: Retreats can be a powerful step toward personal conversion.
Making resolutions: Retreats can be a time to examine life's priorities and make practical resolutions for improvement.
Bonding memories: Retreats can create lasting memories.
Have you ever attended a retreat? If not, try to attend one. If you have already attended, refresh your spiritual life repeatedly.
God Bless you all.
Sincerely,
Fr. John
