Q: What is the retreat theme?
A: The theme for the 2022 Anchored in Hope Retreat is GRACE. As believers, we are promised an abundant life.

We can do hard things when we recognize and receive GRACE and give it in return. Together we will ponder what it means to accept and receive GRACE, live boldly, walk in freedom, and live an abundant life.
Our theme verses are:
For from His fullness we have all received, grace upon grace. John 1:16 ESV
But He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 2 Corinthians 12:9
Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. Hebrews 4:16
