INNER HEALING RETREAT
Fri, Jun 20 | St. Matthew’s Church
A retreat on inner healing led by Fr. Adam Zettel, LC, and a team of collaborators. The retreat theme is based on the teaching of Dr. Bob Schuchts, author of “Be Healed”. This retreat seeks to help you uncover the lies that are rooted in past wounds and renounce them in the name of Jesus. From there, you will be free to find your identity as a son or daughter of God in the truth that he speaks to you in your place of brokenness. In a gentle approach that respects the time you may need, this healing retreat helps to open up the most difficult parts of your personal history to Jesus, in the context of his loving care for you, so that you can be restored by his love.

With each step, we commemorate the 100,000 unborn lives lost to abortion every year in Canada and reaffirm our commitment to supporting women in unplanned pregnancies to know they are not alone.
Halton Alive addresses fear and uncertainty by walking alongside women, helping them access resources they need to stay safe, secure and support them as they carry life in their womb. We work to educate the community on life issues to empower them in their decision making and conversations.
The answer to an unplanned pregnancy is not abortion – it’s love, support, resources and compassion.
Now that’s something we can all get behind!
