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. |

The New Horizons weekend retreat is a one time opportunity for reflection, personal work, and celebration to help people embark on a new phase of life after divorce. In an open, honest, and caring Christian environment, you can leave behind the tensions of daily life. Here, you will be safe to explore hurts, desires, ambitions, disappointments, joys, and frustrations. You can find a sense of direction for the next phase of your personal journey through listening and talking – to oneself, others, and God. |
