The Lenten Desert: Letting Go and Entering In

with Kathy Wolf McCormick

This program is open to guests age 18 and older.

“Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the devil.” Matthew 4:1

You are invited to enter the desert with Jesus. Like Jesus, all are called to step away from the noise of daily life and listen more closely to the voice of God. Through prayer, reflection, and silence this retreat is a time to let go of all that keeps you separated from the Lord, entering into silence and listening, and allowing God to meet you in your vulnerability and begin to transform you into a more trusting and faithful disciple of Christ.

Wednesday only attendance is also an option. To register for Wednesday only, please follow this link
