We pray to God, “Give us this day our daily bread,” and then discover that we usually provide our own, without remembering God’s promise to provide “all these things” if we “seek first the Kingdom of God.”
Join David Wenger for a contemplative approach to making bread. The day will include making bread together along with personal reflection on receiving, waiting, expanding and resting.
This retreat focuses on the Hermitage Way practice to “study or explore fields of interest in which a contemplative perspective is applied.”
Morning Prayer is held at 8:00, before the retreat, and open to all.
This retreat is offered without cost to Keepers of the The Hermitage Way. Others should plan on a $50 donation.
