“It’s a rich week in God’s presence, very meaningful for your spiritual journey.” Mary Prime
Rooted in God, Growing in Life
Our theme: The rich imagery of green growth is especially powerful for the desert peoples of the Bible. As we northern people see nature emerging from winter, we also draw upon the rich imagery of life we are given in the Biblical story. In this Week of Guided Prayer we ponder the fullness of life that is rooted in God’s love, which we know in Jesus. Come and let yourself be watered for Life.
What is involved in the week?
Opening Session: On Zoom with the group – Sunday Apr 24, 3-4:30 pm. After you register for the week, you will be sent an email with a link for the Zoom meetings. The opening session gives you all the information you need for the week.
Retreat time: Each day you will create your own 30 minute ‘retreat’ time. You will be given a daily page with four short Bible passages and a reflection. As you listen with an open heart, reflect, and pray upon them, you may feel how the Holy Spirit is speaking to you through the passages.
Companioning time: You will be assigned a trained companion, to share your daily journey for 30 minutes. You and your companion will determine the best in-person or physically-distanced formats for you.
All conversations are held in strictest confidence.
Closing Session on Zoom with the group– Saturday, 9:30 – 11:30am. The closing session can be a richly meaningful close to the week, shared with the whole group. We strongly encourage you to participate in each part of the week, to experience it fully.
