From Crib to Cross Lutheran-Episcopal Retreat
June 24 – 26, 2019
This year marks our third retreat, “From Crib to Cross.” In 2016 we met under the theme “In the Breaking of the Bread” with nearly 100 participants. New this year is an open invitation to pastors, deacons, seminarians, and lay leaders who are invested in the ecumenical life of the church. We welcome all members of the Lutheran-Anglican-Roman Catholic-United Methodist (LARCUM) organization as well.
