🔥 We&rsquo;re really excited to invite you to our first Fireproof 2026 Retreat,&nbsp; hosted by the English Ministry of Our Lady of Zeitoun Coptic Orthodox Church! We are delighted to have Fr. Moussa Shafik from St. Abraam Church in Long Island as our guest speaker for the weekend.&nbsp;&nbsp; With school, work, careers, responsibilities, and everything in between, it can be hard to slow down and connect a bit more with God. Our prayer is that this retreat gives you a chance to &quot;disconnect to reconnect&quot; and to step away from the busyness for a little while and simply be with Christ and with one another. 🤲 Come spend the weekend praying, worshipping, learning, laughing, and building friendships. We&rsquo;ll have liturgical worship, spiritual talks, small groups, personal reflection, fellowship, and plenty of fun along the way. More than anything, we hope you leave renewed, encouraged, and more rooted in Christ as you head back into everyday life. Who is it for?Fireproof is for college students, graduate students and young professionals. Whether you&rsquo;re in school, starting your career, navigating the years in between- whether raised in the Coptic church or new to the orthodox faith, this retreat is for you. We&rsquo;re excited to spending the weekend with you and can&#39;t wait see how He meets each of us throughout the weekend&nbsp; 💡 A note about checkout:&nbsp;We are using Zeffy, a platform that allows us to receive payments without any fees.
