"...the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.” Galatians 5: 22-23 
Join us as we look at these fruits of the Spirit and discover how they interact with our environment, ourselves, our communities and the world. 

WHAT IS "FRUITS AND ROOTS"?
Beginning in the Spring of 2024, Calumet embarked on a journey of exploration with people of any age who can make time to get to Calumet during the mid-week. Fruits & Roots is a learning experience -- an opportunity to grow, engage, and be renewed. At each Fruits & Roots retreat, participants will dig into one of the nine fruits of the Spirit during a multi-day visit to Calumet. Calumet's programs -- especially this one -- are deeply rooted in Christ. What does that mean?

Come, explore the fruits of the Spirit as we root ourselves in and with God’s Creation!

Our Fruity Leaders: Sue, Todd, Judy, and Gary.
