We will reflect on the deep questions of our time: What is mission today? How do we respond to the epic changes in our world? How do we as a church journey together?
If you are looking for a space to rest from the weariness of the journey, a space to contemplate the difficult questions and a community with whom to envision the “new creation,” this workshop is for you! We will make special visits to the Redwood Forest and the Pacific Ocean. We invite you to join us on this journey as missionary disciples!
