Our retreat speaker will be Christina Walther, from Northern Minnesota. She is deeply passionate about guiding individuals to connect with Christ at every stage and walk of life. Her goal is that her faith and resilience inspire those around her as she embraces life's journey with hope and gratitude. She utilizes a blend of speaking and sharing of her original music – inspired by scripture, and resonates with the message she shares. The heart of her story revolves around her journey and her endurance through grief. She refers to her journey as "Turning my Why into Wonder." She quickly has moved beyond asking "why" and instead embraced a sense of wonder about what God had in store for us. His ways are truly amazing.
BOOK EXCHANGE: There will be a book exchange taking place. We encourage you to bring your Christian books to share with others.
