For Adults
Christian Experience Weekend (CEW)
The Christian Experience Weekend is a spiritual retreat that offers an opportunity to take a break from the demands of everyday life and look at who we are and where we are going. It is an opportunity to rediscover oneself, your faith, and connection with God. The weekend includes talks, small group discussion, private reflection, liturgy and plenty of time for fellowship. It is conducted by a team of lay people, a priest and spiritual director. It’s a weekend to listen, pray, learn, relax and be refreshed. The weekend welcomes everyone regardless of where they are in their
spiritual lives. Many people attend because they would like to improve their relationship with Christ and others to spend time in reflection.

Jesus did not say to the Jews, “I’ve come to save you from Roman oppression and taxation.” Christ did not promise a worldly kingdom. In fact, He said, “My kingship is not of this world … My kingdom is in your midst … My kingdom is within you!” The kingdom of God is among us. Indeed, it is here now. For where the King is there is His Kingdom. Let us live with an eternal perspective. Claim your royal dignity and inheritance.
She Shall Be Called Woman (SHE)
