WALK - A One Day Spiritual Retreat
April 4 - 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
$25 Per Person - Covers food and Program Costs
You Were Made to Walk.
Before there were cities, screens, schedules, and noise — there was a garden. Before there were sermons and sanctuaries — there was a walk in the cool of the day.
On April 4, we invite you to step away from the rush and rediscover what it means to walk with God.
WALK is a one-day immersive retreat that unfolds entirely outdoors along the trails of Sunset Lake. This event is for individuals seeking spiritual renewal - Leaders looking for margin - Couples or friends wanting shared reflection - anyone feeling far away from The Garden and looking to reconnect with their Creator.
This is not a conference.
This is not a lecture series.
This is a guided spiritual journey — step by step.What to Expect:
6-8 miles of walking through varied terrain, both on and off trail. Scripture teachings at stops along the way. Guided reflections and solitude time. A trained naturalist teaching along the way. Outdoor lunch provided. scheduled bathroom breaks along the way.
What to Bring:
Sturdy hiking shoes, long pants, rain gear if needed, small day back with water and optional trail snacks. Pen for writing in journal.
