Retreat for Randy Smith Sunday School Class of St. Luke’s UMC, Houston

With Your Whole Soul: Growing in God Day by Day
Life is lived one day at a time (whether we like it or not). Using the prayer of a 13th-century English bishop and a song from the musical Godspell as our framework, we will reflect on our daily Christian commitment to see God more clearly (theology), love God more dearly (spirituality), and follow God more nearly (putting hands and feet on our theology and spirituality). In other words, we will do some theology, explore spirituality, and think about how to live out our faith.
