(January 29, 2025) — The following programs and retreats will take place during February and March 2025 at the Sacred Heart on the Lake Retreat Center, 194 Candlewood Hill Road in Higganum.
SPIRITUAL BOOK STUDY —– “The Signature of Jesus” by Brennan Manning
Six Wednesdays from February 5, 2025 to March 19, 2025. 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
Have you wished to make Lent more meaningful? Brennan Manning, in his book “The Signature of Jesus,” challenges us to live Christianity radically. Find out what it means to truly be a follower of Jesus. As Manning states: “I am not a follower of Jesus if I live with him only in Bethlehem and Nazareth and not in Gethsemane and Calvary.” This is a powerful journey where only love can move us to change.
