Good News Church Retreat | March 13 - 15, 2020
We’re glad that you are attending the spring retreat. It will be a time when we seek God’s vision, led by the Holy Spirit, and discern the will of God. As we rest away from the busy-ness of New York City life, let us draw closer to God.
Please address all questions to Mike Mun, mmun1107@gmail.com
Psalm 46:1-3, “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging.”
