What is the Sister to Sister Lectureship Retreat?

​​​Sister to Sister Lectureship Retreat is an annual event designed to bring local sisters of the Church of Christ together to form closer knit relationships and to strive to support each other during times of distress, build up and admonish each other on key topics in a non-threatening environment.  Sisters from all congregations participate in the decision-making and planning.  That exemplifies the unity Jesus talks about.
