Take a quiet step away from your daily routine and gather with Orthodox Christian women for prayer, reflection, and conversation. The Ancient Faith Women&rsquo;s Retreat is a reflective and friendly gathering to rest, listen, and grow in Christ together at the entrance of the Nativity season. The retreat is a four-day event, beginning Thursday evening and concluding after liturgy on Sunday, at the Antiochian Village Conference Center in Bolivar, PA. The theme of our eighth annual retreat is Communion. What is happening to us when we partake in communion and accept Christ dwelling within us? What does it mean to be part of a Eucharistic community? We look forward to exploring these questions and more with four fantastic speakers.
