Advent Retreat | December 14 & 15
As we inch our way toward the winter solstice, Advent beckons us into the dark to play with shadows and ponder the light. Ruth Pattison's book Celtic Ways to Pray, Finding God in the Natural Elements,* will provide the basis for the retreat, as we venture into this experiential moment apart from the daily stress of our demanding routines.
Please email rsvp@holyinnocents.org the session you would like to attend. Wednesday, December 14, 4:00-6:00 PM, or Thursday, December 15, 10:00 AM-12:00 PM.
*no purchase necessary, but the first 3 people to sign up for each of the retreat options, will receive a free book, compliments of your author-leader! Or purchase it online here.
