Southern Indiana Reconnecting and Renewal +1 Experience

Monday, August 24, 2015 10AM - 3PM

Country Lake Retreat Center, Underwood, IN

 

Maybe it's back to school time at your house.  Maybe you are thinking it's time to get your Spring cleaning done, since Fall is fast approaching.  No matter what you are busy doing right now, I encourage you to come to Country Lake, to reconnect with other Southern Indiana Journey Fellows and other Journey Fellows that want to make the trip, and spend some time renewing you, and embracing the current season of your life.

 

Bring someone who you want to introduce to The Journey - someone who needs a renewal day or someone you hope to nominate for the next Fellowship.

 

Facilitated by Journey Renewal Guide, Connie Minich, with the support of Tom and Janet.
