We started the Jesse tree tradition in 2017. Our girls were ten and eight at the time, and I was in search of ways to celebrate the Christmas season that mattered to us.

You are invited to journey with me in a special devotional series I am putting together beginning December 1st 2022 entitled: The Jesse Tree: A Christmas Devotional Series for Adults

Forget everything you think you know about a spiritual retreat. What? Yes! Forget everything you think you know. Let’s start fresh. That is certainly what I told myself as I began planning the Waiting by the Brook Retreat this year. Why? Because the world has changed since COVID-19. Why? Because I think we are all changing right along with it.
