Not Your Grandma’s Bible Study: Creative Approaches to Scripture
With Sr. Teresa Jackson, OSB
July 11 - 13, 2025
Do you think Scripture is important but perhaps a little boring? Do you think that Bible study is a straight-forward process of finding answers? Have you tried Bible studies or commentaries but just couldn’t get into them? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions this retreat is for you.

There are many ways to engage with this life-changing book and we’ll try several. Come and experience the Bible like you never have before. No experience needed.
