On October 6 & 7, 2018, our beloved SMSV family once again headed to White Oaks resort for our annual thanksgiving retreat. After the traditional delicious thanksgiving dinner, we settled down to explore how to live our faith, with less talk and more walk. Our guest speaker, Fr. Anthony Mourad, helped us consider how to practically offer living sacrifices through martyria, diakonia and liturgia (head over to the Gallery for recordings of the talks). We thank God for a beautiful time of fellowship, growth and encouragement.
