Do you think Scripture is important but perhaps a little boring?  Do you think that Bible study is a straight-forward process of finding answers?  Have you tried Bible studies or commentaries but just couldn’t get into them?  If you answered “yes” to any of these questions this retreat is for you.  We will approach Scripture through reflection, and imagination, with our heart and a willingness to be stretched while taking it seriously as the Word of God.  There are many ways to engage with this life-changing book and we’ll try several.  Come and experience the Bible like you never have before.  No experience needed.
