We have heard the scripture: “Pray without ceasing” and think it is impossible. But maybe it isn’t. Maybe we can learn a few prayer hacks that will help us to pray from the time we wake, to the time we go to sleep.
Participants will explore and experiment with a variety of prayer tools, from journaling to spiritual direction. We will learn about the ancient prayer-hours of the day, and how to easily incorporate them into our daily lives. Each woman will leave the beautiful Aldersgate Retreat Center with a renewed spirit, and a collection of marvelous ready-to-use prayer tools! Bring a friend or a small group of women from your congregation and deepen the ties that bind us one to another.
Retreat leaders: Melinda Trotti, Retreat Leader and Spiritual Director, Rev. Marlene Urban-Funk, Clergywoman and Retreat Leader
