Most often we approach our sacred story in the context of liturgy. There we hear excerpted passages outside their original context. Bible Study also considers one book of Scripture at a time apart from its narrative flow. What if we gathered up the shiny bits of Scripture thematically and came to appreciate their
integrity as the sacred authors did? This retreat will attempt to do that from the perspective of five important biblical ideas:

  •  Follow the Leader: Biblical Models of Leadership
  •  You’ve Got a Friend: The Nature of Friendship
  •  Seeing the Forest: Trees as Characters in the Bible
  •  The Wisdom Quest: How the Faithful Just Say No
  • Subversive Memories: Women as Biblical Disrupters
