What are Re4m Seminars?
These are workshops and events offered at various times throughout the year whose focus is on the four (4) "R's" of a new life - Restore, Renew, Recenter, Recover.  The seminars are typically offered on Saturdays and generally run from four to six hours, depending on the content. Some events will span two or three days.  They will feature both guest speakers and our own clergy. Past events have been on Prayer, The Power of Forgiveness, and Financial management. Expect future Workshops on Addictions, Sacred Music and more!

Let's look more closely at the 4 "R's" mentioned above:

• "Restore" events will focus on themes designed to help restore an aspect of our lives, like restoring hurting marriages or a lapse of faith.
• "Renew" events will focus on renewing our faith and will cover topics like prayer, spiritual gifts, and faith.
• "Recenter" events will help us recenter our lives on God or the things that are truly important.  For example we may "recenter" on Authentic Christian Spirituality, through a "Quiet Day", or contemplative exercise.
• "Recover" events will focus on Recovery issues and will deal with the various aspects of addiction, help with anxiety or depression and healing.

Specific events will be announced.
