Gold Star Wives Retreat: Let Light Shine Out of Darkness

with Preston and Glenda Parrish

November 5-7, 2021
Closed

With the unexpected loss of a military husband comes so many questions. What will life look like now? Will light ever be able to penetrate the darkness again? The Apostle Paul’s teachings about “the God of all comfort” (2 Corinthians 1:3) offer hope as we navigate these challenges. This seminar will highlight the glory of Jesus; and there will be opportunities to share hopes, fears, and accounts of God’s faithfulness with one another.
