Seasonal Quiet Day: Trust and Surrender

Wednesday, October 20, 2010
10 am - 4 pm
Retreat House

Please join us for our next Seasonal Quiet Day, this one celebrating Autumn: Wednesday, October 20, 10 am - 4 pm. You are welcome to overnight in the Retreat House Tuesday or Wednesday to extend your retreat time!

Our Fall theme is Trust and Surrender. During this time of year the wind picks up, the air turns crisp, and leaves fall "home." This is an invitation for us to let go deeper into God's loving embrace. "Come away and rest awhile" in the season's brilliant red and yellow beauty. Our day will include a gentle rhythm of guided meditations and silence allowing you to explore the landscape around you and in your soul.

There is no cost, donations are welcome. Bring a bag lunch. Please let us know that you are coming, contact Trish at tstefanik@aol.com or call 304-725-4301. See www.rollingridge.net for more information and directions.

Quote of the Day

God, Creator
and Sustainer of Life,
we the living praise You;
our hearts and our flesh
sing for joy
as we join with all creation
in a canticle of Thanksgiving
for the blessings
of the universe,
the habitat of all that lives.

Forgive our wanton
and wasteful use
of those good and precious resources
entrusted to our care.
Send forth Your Spirit,
renew the earth
as You renew its caretakers,
for we
and all of creation
cry:

Come, Creator Spirit!
Come, Soul of the Universe!
Come, Source of all that Lives!
Come, live in us! Amen!
