November 13–14

Love that…

Step away from the busyness of everyday life and make room to explore God's love that abides. Surrounded by the beauty of nature at Pere Marquette Park, 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.

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.
