Come share in a special retreat as we welcome Phileena Heuertz, author of Mindful Silence: The Heart of Christian Contemplation on Saturday, January 12 from 9:00 AM- 2:00 PM in the parish hall. Phileena will reflect on her book, inviting us to consider what it means to ground our practice of faith in our awareness of God’s presence in our lives. We will also share in a panel discussion with Phileena and Rebecca Parker, co-director of Mary and Martha’s Place in Atlanta.
The cost of the retreat is $40 to cover food and honoraria. Some scholarships are available. Please register and pay on or before January 7.
