In this 4-week study, we will explore what it means to live as Baptised people. We will look at a Lutheran understanding of baptism, and discover ways to affirm and celebrate our baptism in our everyday lives, on special occasions, and in different seasons.
Rev. Dr. Tom Johnson was our speaker at Retreat Of Our Own in 2017.
