Cursillo Retreat

“To know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.”
Ephesians 3:19

I share this scripture verse with you today as an invitation, to a closer walk with the Lord through a Cursillo retreat weekend.
The reality of having a closer relationship with the Lord touched my heart when I made my Cursillo in May 1995. It took me from being an ordinary Catholic Christian, going through the motions, to having a deep personal relationship with God.

For the first time in my life, I truly understood the depth of God’s love for me who has become my rock to lean on during difficult times. Since then, I have always been led to share this gift with my brother and sisters in Christ that I worship with, when I visit other churches.

Cursillo is described as a short course in Christianity, an encounter with Christ & has been active in the Archdiocese of Detroit since 1962. Cursillo calls us to a better understanding of God’s love for us, gives us the tools to “Unleash the Gospel “and be witnesses of the Risen Christ.

I have also put together some material about Cursillo which is on the information rack at the back of the church.

The following dates are for the upcoming weekends at the Maryville Retreat Center in Holly Michigan:
Men’s- October 26th-29th
Women’s is November 16th-19th

I welcome the opportunity to share this life changing experience with you. Contact Grace Van Hamme for more info at (810)343-8011.
