Grounding our Service in God
Join Christina Leaño and Sarah Cledwyn to practice the foundations of contemplative prayer. Participants will engage in prayer practices throughout the day as they explore the always maturing tenets of non-judgement, curiosity, listening and discernment.
This retreat is facilitated by The Partnership for Contemplative Discipleship and all who are interested are welcome to attend. Many of the attendees will be congregants and pastors from our partnering congregations.
