Most of us realize something is missing in our lives and want help with that feeling. We all want a community; we all want a home; a sense of connection and a sense of family in the church. We want to find our place in the family of God.  Good Shepherd wants to help welcome people into that journey of spiritual connection and fellowship. CRHP is a great starting point. This powerful weekend retreat results in spiritual growth and is often described as life-changing. Participants attend a 2-day, 1-overnight renewal weekend at Good Shepherd to focus on where they are in their spiritual journeys. Music, faith sharing, communion, and individual and group activities help them reflect on their current relationship with God and inspire them to be open to the way God is working in their lives. Men and women attend separate weekends. Church membership is not required. CRHP groups tend to stay connected beyond the retreat, either in continued fellowship or service to the church.
