For young adults in their 20s and 30s, this retreat will focus on fellowship, service and worship at the beautiful Diakonia Retreat Center. All young adults are welcome but space will be limited, so you are encouraged to register soon here.
On November 11-13, young adults from Holy Transfiguration (GOA), Cathedral of the Annunciation (GOA), St. Elias (Antiochian) and Sts. Raphael, Nicholas, and Irene (GOA) spent a weekend at the Diakonia Retreat Center in South Carolina.
The retreat combined fellowship, service opportunities and liturgy. On Saturday, the young adults volunteered with cleaning projects in the chapel and attended vespers, followed by a bonfire. On Sunday, the group attended liturgy and wrote Christmas Cards to incarcerated people to be distributed by
the Orthodox Christian Prison Ministry, followed by brunch. The beautiful setting of the Diakonia Center provided an opportunity for spiritual growth and new friendships.
