Embracing the Holy Time of Lent
With Peter Watkins and Jackie Bohrer
March 11, 2018
“I will give you a new heart and put a new Spirit in you: I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.”
This quote from Ezekiel will be the foundation for this Lenten three hour mini-retreat. Through ritual, personal contemplation, discussion and music, participants will be invited to take a step back and become more aware of the presence of God’s Spirit in their lives. Our time together will be a holy time of renewal and transformation. Retreatants are also invited to join in a communal meal together at the end.
