Invitational Weekend Retreat

Trust in the Lord: Living with True Confidence

July 24-26, 2026
Community of Jesus
Orleans, MA

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own understanding. Proverbs 3:5–6

What does trusting in God mean? What does it not mean? What happens when our hearts and our minds are in “disagreement” with one another? What “understandings” do we rely on that may be hindering us in our walk with Jesus. On this retreat we will face these questions and more, in order to increase our trust in God and learn how to walk both humbly and confidently in His ways.
