SUMMARY:A Visit to the Potter's Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Facilitated by Sister Barbara Ann Gondek Fee: $40 per person \nLent has traditionally been a time of conversion\, of being re-created\, of being refashioned. As we prepare for Lent\, let us embark on a visit to the Potter’s (God’s) house (Jer. 18:1-6). Let us watch and experience how this Potter/God can transform our clay/us. \nLet us watch His hands take a lump of clay and transform it into a beautiful masterpiece. Let us answer the question posed by Jeremiah’s Potter “Can I not do to you … as the Potter has done to the clay?” For we are indeed clay in the hands of God.

SUMMARY:Lectio Divina Prayer Hour
DESCRIPTION:Facilitated by Fran Tassone                                \nFee: $30 per person/per session \n“Come away and pray awhile” is a phrase originating from Jesus’s invitation to his disciples in the Gospel of Mark (6:31)\, urging them to withdraw to a quiet\, isolated pace to rest and rejuvenate amidst the busyness of ministry. These words emphasize the importance of taking time for spiritual renewal\, self-care\, and seeking God’s presence away from the demands of the world\, allowing for personal refreshment and a deeper connection with Him. Using the prayer practice of Lectio Divina\, the divine reading of Scripture\, including music\, poems and imaginative prayer\, this offering is an invitation to gather together in a sacred\, safe and reliable space allowing God’s loving voice to speak to us and call us into deeper friendship. \n\nPlease be aware that everyone is welcome to stay after sessions to spend time in our chapel.\n     Please email me if you have any questions or would like to sign up to attend any of the upcoming sessions — hope you can make it!
