Quiet Day | Guarded by Peace

'You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are stayed on you, because they trust in you.' -- Isaiah 26:3 --

Join Cathy and Joe at The Wellspring for a day of rest, reflection, and renewal as we explore the peace of God that guards our hearts against fear and anxiety. Through guided reflections, prayer, and quiet contemplation, we will draw from the wisdom of Scripture to understand how God’s peace is a spiritual reality that sustains us through life’s challenges.

Quiet Days are an opportunity to step away from the busyness of daily life and draw near to God. Whether you choose to spend the time in silent prayer, journaling, or creative expression, there will be space for you to engage in a way that suits your spiritual journey.

Retreat areas will be available both inside and outside, weather permitting. Numbers are limited to 15 to ensure a peaceful atmosphere, providing ample personal space for reflection.
