Next Retreat
We are currently considering the possibility of a Winter Retreat this year. If you or someone you know would be interested in attending please contact us. In addition to the possible Winter Retreat we will be holding our usual Spring/Summer Reatreat in June of 2011.
TEF family retreats are created to povide refreshment and encouragement to families caring for people with special needs. We recognize the need to encourage these families. A balanced schedule of workshops and activities for the family, as well as for each individual, provides a refreshing and fun environment for the entire family.
These three-day retreats provide education and resources along with group activities and couple activities; however, our focus is to provide the families with opportunities for character development. Essential principles, critical to the character of every individual and family, are emphasized with the hope of continued growth and development.
|
Four principles that are the bedrock of the TEF retreats are as follows:
FAITH - a deep, sincere and steadfast faith in Christ.
INTIMACY - a foundational and deep relational closeness, pursued lovingly and faithfully.
LOVE - patient, kind, longsuffering and unconditional love for God and family.
PASSION - the spirit in which all these basic principles are applied, for God’s glory and one’s own pleasure,
to meet life’s challenges and make much of them in Christ.
