Koinonia is a Greek word that means Community. Come share a weekend in Christian Community, reflecting on God's presence in our lives! This retreat consists of talks, discussions, and liturgical celebrations, as well as time for fun and relaxation. The weekend is not a seminar, not a social gathering, nor is it counseling. It is time to retreat, to reflect, and to heal. |
