Participants will be encouraged to let go of their need for control, and to accept their powerlessness over persons, places and events in their lives, and to allow God to do for them what they cannot do for themselves.

All faith traditions are welcome.

Cost to attend the retreat is $40, which includes lunch. The registration deadline is Sept. 14.
