The theme of the 2004 retreat was "Sharing Our Stories" and throughout the weekend we gathered and heard the stories of people's lives, their joys, triumphs, struggles, hopes and dreams and also had lots of time to play, dance, eat, quietly reflect, and pray together. What a great job the retreat committee did in pulling this all together. Here are just a few of the photos from that wonderful weekend.
