“When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.” A familiar old saying that seems to be such a worn cliché, especially if someone quotes it to us when we are in a great dilemma in our life. Health situations, loss of jobs or something traumatic happening with our family members places such a strain on our lives that we develop blinders and  we feel like we are unable to make lemonade out of or change the situation. However, God does give us the strength to deal with and handle even the most trying of circumstances. We may not be able to stop the lemons from falling or make something better of a situation, but we can be determined to better the way in which we handle those 'lemons'.

This retreat will inspire you through music, message and the exploration of God’s Word as we discover ways we can count it all joy when we fall into various trials.
