Sat AM | Sat PM | Song Lyrics
I’m so glad you’ve carved out the time to be with us for our 2020 TVC Men’s Retreat! I can’t think of anything that might be better for our hearts, minds and souls than to gather with some brothers in Christ, worship the Lord together and be reminded of the things that really matter. Into a world that has been starkly reminded of its vulnerabilities and weaknesses the New Testament book of James sounds refreshingly honest, practical and hopeful. This weekend we’ll take 3 good looks at James to see how he deals with subjects like conflict, sickness, suffering, wealth or the lack thereof. Let’s lean in together and let’s listen up to hear what James’ older half-brother might have to say to us at this time in history.
