It was holy ground where God appeared to Moses in the burning bush, and it was holy ground where Jesus walked the earth. On this retreat, we will contemplate the holy ground to be found in our own stories – treasuring and pondering in our hearts the joys, sorrows, and glories of God’s presence and action in our lives.
