On Saturday, November 21st from 9:00 am – 2:00 pm in the Parlor at MUCC Pastor Marci will lead a Spiritual Retreat focused on the call and the need to flourish. Flourishing is the state of well-being, when the aspects of our lives are good. To flourish transcends happiness and speaks to the core of our heart and soul. As our modern society navigates rapid technological shifts, intense polarization, and systemic challenges, flourishing serves as a critical compass. During this retreat we’ll work on simple exercises intended to draw us into flourishing.
