Geography of the Soul led by Teresa Childress
The study at the retreat will offer fellow travelers an invitation to a journey; to walk where Jesus walked. This spiritual pilgrimage invites an encounter with Christ where you can visit the places Jesus taught and prayed. We will examine the promise of Isaiah 48:6, From now on, I will tell you of new things, of hidden things unknown to you.
