The Leaders' Retreat
October 23-26, 2008

This year, the annual Laity Lodge Leaders' Retreat will focus on the theme of:

“The High Calling of our Daily Work –
Integrating Faith into All Aspects
of our Lives”

It's not just pastors and priests who are called into ministry. Every single Christian is called by God into his ministry. And ministry doesn't happen only in church buildings. It's what we do for the Lord in every facet of our lives, including our workplaces, homes, charitable organizations, and so on.

Through engaging biblical teaching and compelling personal stories, we will consider how we can be leaders who serve the Lord in all we do.
