A Women’s Lenten Retreat ~ In the Desert With Jesus
Friday, March 8 – Sunday, March 10: Come join Susan Stabile as she presents this year’s Women’s Lenten Retreat entitled In the Desert With Jesus. When you love someone, you stick with them in the difficult times as well as the easy times. Lent is our invitation to journey with Jesus in the desert – a place of testing…a place of struggle…a place of covenant…a place of darkness as well as light. This weekend we will walk with Jesus in the desert and, by so doing, get more deeply in touch with our own desires and longings, our temptations, our weaknesses…and our strengths. Along the way, we will also learn from the experience of those who walked with Jesus during his most difficult times.
The retreat will begin with 5pm check-in, followed by dinner at 6 pm. All retreatants are welcome to join us prior to check-in for our 4pm Liturgy. $300pp private; $250pp semi-private and $230 commuter
