You are invited to join the exploring spirituality and faith retreat, which is part of the "Nature through Nurture" project sponsored by Lawrenceville First United Methodist Church. This retreat will take place at the church's campground located at 700 Braselton Hwy, just north of downtown Lawrenceville. You will have the opportunity to explore your own understanding of spirituality and faith while also exploring the 55 acres of woods and trails on this nearly 200 year old campground.

Facilitated by Rev. Dr. Amy Valdez Barker, this is a glimpse into a longer class she has taught for seminarians and leaders in the church. Participants will be invited to do some soul-searching and soul-tending as we explore questions about why we believe what we believe. This retreat is intended for anyone interested in getting curious about spirituality and faith. Whether you are a long-time Christian, an atheist, agnostic or label-defyer, Dr. Valdez Barker will meet you where you're at and walk with you as you wonder out loud about life, spirituality, and our souls.
