Rachel’s Vineyard Retreat in Cache Creek, September 30 to October 2
Rachel’s Vineyard is a ministry to help those who are suffering from the pain caused by abortion. We know an abortion affects many more than just the mother and father involved. Siblings, grandparents, friends, health care workers, pregnancy crisis counsellors, etc. all can be traumatized by abortion. Rachel’s Vineyard also recognizes and helps with grief caused by other unresolved pregnancy losses.
It is NOT too late to sign up for the retreat. It will not be too late a week or a few a days ahead of time. It can be a very scary thing to commit to; we understand.
