| Program: | "Gran Torino, the Movie and Relationships" Based on the Clint Eastwood movie, "Gran Torino", we will explore the complex relationships of the characters in the movie. There will be ample time for Small Groups and the opportunity to develop great relationships with other Men at the Retreat. We highly recommend you watch the movie, Gran Torino, prior to attending the retreat.
What does faith bring to those great challenges? This event will lead men to God's presence in the challenges and power of these everyday struggles and accomplishments. |
