January offers more than a new calendar—it offers a threshold. A quiet place to pause, reflect, and to ask honest questions about the life we are living.
This retreat is not about resolutions, but reorientation. It’s an invitation to begin the year with intention, guided by the Psalms—the very words that shaped the prayers and imagination of Jesus.
Together, we will reflect on:
A Psalm of Hope – anchoring our year in trust over anxiety.
A Song of Forgiveness – allowing grace to heal what the past has worn thin.
A Hymn of Dignity – recovering the image of God in ourselves and in others.
This is an invitation to a weekend where lament is not weakness, confession is not shame, and praise is not performance—but all these ancient practices are invitations to meet with God.
