Did you know that one in four Christian women have experienced and abortion?  That means that one in four Christian women and men are sitting in our pews every Sunday suffering in silence.  In Pope John Paul III's Evangelium Vitae he States, "But do not give into discouragement and do not lose hope."  If you are experiencing emotional or spiritual difficulties from a past abortion, there is help and hope.  Our Rachel's Vineyard Retreat is ready to assist you in your healing.  The next retreat is scheduled for September 24-26, 2021 at the Christ Prince of Peace Center in Benton, TN.  Complete confidentiality is honored at all times.  Registration deadline is September 17, 2021.  If you are unable to attend a weekend retreat, one-on-one counseling is available with counselors who have been specially trained in this area.  For more information, please contact Sandi Davidson, (865) 776-4510, sandi@ccetn.org.  For participants' safety and comfort, all COVID-19 restrictions will be followed during the retreat.
