Evening of Recollection
6:00-8:30PM
The Abbey of the Hills Inn and Retreat Center is excited to now offer an Evening of Recollection.
It is a sinister plot: attacking our children using their own God-given sexuality against them. However, that is exactly what the pornography industry and predators do as they enter our homes through often unlocked and unguarded digital doors. The stark reality is that many parents do not know this is happening, or if they do, they have no plan to evict the evil and bolt the doors shut.
Are you ready to take up the challenge of intentional parenting in the digital age? There is no other option. The future of your sons and daughters depends on it. For more information click HERE.
