LENTEN SILENT RETREAT AT GRACE

Grace Church
11621 Ferdinand Dr.
St. Francisville, LA

February 29 from 9 am - 3 pm

Mary C. Earle returns to lead another reflective Lenten Retreat at Grace Church.
On February 29th renowned theologian and Episcopal Priest, Mary C. Earle, will return to Grace to lead another riveting Lenten retreat.  Throughout the day, Rev'd Earle will lead us through reflections and prayers from her book The Desert Mothers: Spiritual Practices from the Women of the Wilderness.  At the dawn of Christianity, holy women went into the deserts of northern Egypt to devote themselves to lives of prayer. Almost forgotten in today's contemporary society, now The Desert Mothers provide you with the writings of these holy women and apply their spiritual practices to modern day life. Each chapter contains a summary of the spiritual practice and a closing prayer, making it a useful tool in your devotional practice.  Lunch will be provided during the retreat; purchase tickets  here .   We pray you can join us as we begin Lent in prayer and reflection.

Dr. Scott Stoner, founder of the Living Compass Faith-Based Wellness program, a great leader in the Anglican Communion, Bishop Greg Kerr-Wilson from Calgary, Canada, The Rev. Bill Miller, and favorite musicians Matt Lemmler and Crispin Schroeder. The Retreat is centered on the Living Compass model of balance, wellness and wholeness. The weekend includes five delicious meals, a time of silence and contemplation late Friday evening, presentations on Friday evening and Saturday, optional Saturday afternoon workshops, a great concert on Saturday afternoon, renewal and play, some group discussion, fellowship and fun with our cook-out and campfire on Saturday evening, and a closing worship service on Sunday morning. It's a weekend NOT to be missed! If you have never been to the Solomon Center, our Diocesan conference center just 30 minutes away - you are in for a treat. It is a gem of a location with excellent facilities set amid a forest with a lake. I hope you'll sign up today for this special weekend of spiritual growth and renewal with Scott, Greg, Matt, Crispin and a great group of guys. Please invite a friend. This retreat is open to all men. See you there!
