Incarnation Family Retreat
October 3-5, 2025
Church of the Incarnation's first-ever church-wide retreat!
Let's get away for a weekend of refreshment, friendship, growth, and FUN! Whether you’re single or married, have little ones or are an empty nester, this retreat will be a wonderful way to spend intentional time with friends or to make some new ones.
It’s happening Friday, October 3 through Sunday, October 5 at Our Lady Queen of Peace Retreat Center in Stanton, TN.
The Rev. Summer Gross will lead us in times of teaching, discussion, and activities designed to help us connect more deeply with God.
Summer is an Anglican priest and part of the teaching staff of Healing Care Ministry’s spiritual direction program. Summer's book is The Emmanuel Promise: Discovering the Security of a Life Held By God. She loves to help people experience life change by walking with them into a secure attachment with our heavenly Father.
