Friday, Nov. 7 – Sunday, Nov. 9
It is a joy that our Diocese offers us a retreat for priest’s wives, deacon’s wives, and widowed of the same for a third year in a row! This will be a low-key, quiet weekend with prayer and fellowship as the focus. A few short talks with guided discussion will be offered by Father Innocent on the Orthodox understanding of human nature. We will draw our study from the book Person to Personby Dr. Harry Boosalis.
