The Spirit of the Lord is Upon Me

–2026 Summer Bible Theme

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.
