Breaking from the Climb.

ABC FIRE-breaks are a mix of single day, half day or evening Retreats that offer you an opportunity to take a break from the hurry, distraction and 'burning' issues of daily life in order to allow God to rekindle your spiritual FIRE through Fellowship, Insight, Renewal or Exploration, either individually or as a group. See the Calendar or please contact us for available dates.
