Online Retreat (Six Weeks)
Courage for the Call
A Six-Week Online Retreat
Courage for the Call
An Invitation to Trust
February 13 - March 27, 2026
Is this what God wants for me?
God, grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference.
-Reinhold Niebuhr
When life takes an unexpected turn and you are faced with challenging decisions, or when you are confused about where God is calling you and unsure what to do, the “courage” part of the Serenity Prayer is difficult. Questions start to surface: Am I qualified to try this? Will I get hurt if I take a risk? What will I have to let go in the process? In this retreat, courage is defined as the place where fear and trust meet. You are invited to see that within every call is the grace to respond when you allow yourself to surrender into the merciful arms of God.
Reflect on the struggle to surrender to God, the difference between worries and concerns (which are helpful and which are toxic?), and the path toward opening your heart to a place of inner freedom.

The six-week online retreats are offered every fall and spring and repeat every three years for a comprehensive spiritual growth experience. Although they are offered independently of each other, many participants enjoy taking all of them as they cultivate relationships with repeat participants and appreciate the progression of an in-depth personal and spiritual growth journey with a community of warm and welcoming spiritual seekers.

This time together has made me aware that we human beings go through similar experiences in life as we aspire for a closer walk with Jesus. We are all in this together.
