Summer Bible Week

The theme for this year’s Summer Bible Week ‘26 is “The Spirit of the Lord Upon Me” taken from Luke 4:18-19 in which Jesus announces himself as fulfillment of the promise of true freedom offered to us by a life lived according to God. Please join us for this weeklong retreat in which we reflect on the Word of God and how we may live a life inspired by Spirit.
