Advent Half Day Silent Retreat – December 7th, 2024 8:45AM – Noon
Advent begins with "longing" and with "waiting". It ends with "giving", or better said, "The Giving". God fully gives himself to humankind. Join us as we contemplate our own longings in the presence of The Giver and explore a few practices that will lead us deeper into our understanding and worship in this busy season.
