Our theme will be “Living a Powerful Story.” While last year’s retreat had a competency theme, this year’s focus will be on constancy in ministry, as Paul and Kathy Wilson lead us through an experience of discernment into God’s Big Story, our personal stories and the stories which God is yet to write.
