Come As You Are
This is a space to pause, notice, and name the presence of God—in creation, in conversation, and in the stillness of your own heart.
November 13–14
Love That…
Picture a weekend away from the usual rhythms. Bluffs above the river, fall foliage, unhurried conversation, and time in God’s word together. This is a place of belonging for the women of the Kirk family, whether you have been here for decades or walked in for the first time last Sunday.
The Kirk Women's retreat invites you contemplate the nature and call of God's love, as we study 1 John together. There will be two teaching sessions with guest speaker Megan Jung, quiet moments of personal reflection, processing time in small groups, and sharing delicious meals together.
We would love to have you with us. Register today using the link below.
Come early on Friday and enjoy a self-guided Silent Retreat. Click below.
