I will be leading an overnight Advent retreat beginning at 3:00PM on Sunday, December 4th and concluding at 3:00PM on Monday, December 5th. Its purpose will be to help us to be more open to the deeper meaning of Advent and Christmas through presented meditations, silence, worship, and discussion. I also will be available for spiritual guidance/conversation during the periods of silence.
While participants will be free to go home at night, if you wish, I recommend staying overnight if you are able. Maintaining the atmosphere of the retreat overnight is more conducive to a deeper experience the following day.
Please sign-up with Adrienne at St. Margaret’s for meals and your own room. Suggested donations are as follows: “commuter” is $45, while the overnight fee is $100. Confidential scholarships are available for those who would like to participate but who may not be able to personally cover the cost. Please make use of them if you need to. All are welcome.
More information on the focus of the retreat will be sent to those who sign-up. Any questions may be directed to Adrienne or me. We hope that you will join us!
