Abiding Retreat | March 27-30, 2025 (Dunkel/Ewing)

Retreat Description

We are excited that you'll be joining us for our New Hampshire Abiding Retreat March 27 - 30. My name is Tom Ewing and I'm handling the majority of our retreat correspondence. My wife Susanne and I will be joining Dave and Melissa Dunkel (our hosts) and Scott and Kristin Cornell in facilitating this retreat.

The Abiding Retreat is built on the truths revealed in John 15 - Jesus is the Vine, the Father is the Vinedresser, and we are the Branches. Moving through scripture, we will discover God’s intended plan for intimate relationship with Him personally and His desire to produce supernatural fruit in every facet of our lives (relationships, marriage, family, business, ministry, etc). A workbook and journal will be provided. The material is covered in a super casual, interactive way.

Pre-Retreat Survey:

Below you'll see a link to a pre-retreat survey. Completion of the survey is highly encouraged but not required. The survey is designed to help your retreat facilitators gain a general understanding of your spiritual history and current life challenges. Only answer questions you are comfortable with and know that your answers and comments will be kept confidential.
