We welcome you to join us on Saturday, May 15th for a day of quiet
retreat and contemplative spiritual enrichment. Evelyn Underhill writes,
"We mostly spend our lives conjugating three verbs: to Want, to Have, to
Do." Yet our souls are thirsty for something more.
 

Come explore God's invitation to slow down and look beneath the surface of our busy lives to the place where Love waits for us. We will glean from both ancient paths of prayer and contemporary practices with times for silence, solitude,
chant, and small group work.

 

No experience necessary. Please bring a journal and come prepared for an optional walk outdoors, weather permitting.

 

Facilitators for the day will be Roland and Melissa Stock
from Oasis Ministries for Spiritual Development in Camp Hill, Pa. Roland
and Melissa belong to St. Luke's Episcopal Church in Mechanicsburg,
Pennsylvania. They are active in retreat work and spiritual direction in
their parish and beyond.
