Abstract
In order to begin to build stronger community, I plan to
start with three retreats, given on the basis of interests
and age levels, and from each of them try to establish
ongoing activity, whether it be working groups, scripture
study groups, or social activities groups. These will be
full day retreats, given on Saturday when even those who work
difficult hours can usually make themselves available.
Leadership that emerges in the retreat setting will be
encouraged to participate in developing small communities.
