Event POSTPONED
Our work on anti-racism is important work, and we strive to offer events that are deeply meaningful and transformative. Sometimes, there are things that keep us from holding certain events.
Unfortunately, we need to postpone our Clergy Peer Reflection and Engagement Retreat for this fall, as we look forward to offering an improved experience in the spring.
If you have registered for this retreat, please let us know if you would like a refund or would like to apply this toward the spring retreat. The date for the spring retreat has not been set yet.
