Among several translations of the Greek word Kairos is "the opportune time," different from Chronos, which means chronological or sequential time. This retreat is the opportune time to take a step away from our daily routine, focus on our relationship with God, and see how He wants to use this time. This year we will offer a 24-hour retreat experience on Saturday, March 20. The retreat can be made fully virtually and there also will be an option for those in Ithaca to meet in-person for a portion of the retreat (University policy permitting). Registration is open until February 21. Find more information and register here.
