Lenten Retreat: Sat 4 pm – Sun 4 pm , Feb. 27-28

As we prepare to follow Jesus through his Passion and his Resurrection during this Lenten season, you may find that it is a time for simplifying and slowing down.  Perhaps a time to even ask ourselves, “What is really important?” and “What keeps me from it?”  Based on Jesus’ teaching, the Church has prescribed three disciplines to be practiced by those who follow him, which we rededicate ourselves to during Lent: prayer, fasting and almsgiving.  We will look at each of these disciplines (while admitting that we could spend years exploring each and still have more to learn!) through scripture, stories, prayer, music and silence.  Please bring a Bible and a journal.

Denise Bennett, Facilitator, is a graduate of Richmond Hill’s RUAH School for Spiritual Guidance, as well as Union Presbyterian Seminary. She has served as a chaplain at the Hermitage in Richmond for over ten years. Denise is also a storyteller, musician, and teacher who has led workshops and retreats for churches from Four Square Gospel to Unitarian Universalist.
