This comes from my friend Silas Henderson — Deacon Silas Henderson! — with the Jordan Ministry Team, and it’s another stellar opportunity to hear words of wisdom from Deacon Bill Ditewig.
Date and Time: Sunday, May 16 at 5:00pm (PT) / 7:00 (CT)
This retreat will be offered online via Zoom.
The journey of Christ — his life, suffering, death, resurrection, and return to the Father — is not only a model for our own journey, but a way of New Life. In this retreat, author and presenter Deacon William T. Ditewig, PhD, will reflect on how to make Christ’s journey our own in light of the Ascension.
