In the Wildernees

An Advent Retreat
December 3-4, 2004
Friday Evening - Saturday Evening
Retreat House
Writer's Refuge

Come away to the wilderness for 24 hours this Advent season. Walk the winter woods, spend time in prayer, and prepare to be transformed, perhaps in surprising ways.

There will also be an opportunity, for those who wish, to use their imagination in creative endeavors.

The cost of the retreat, including lodging and four meals, is $35 per person. To register, make checks payable to RRSRC and send to the address below. Let us know if you have special dietary needs. For more information, contact Rachelle Lyndaker Schlabach at 304-725-4301 or rachelle@juno.com.

Quote of the Day

Let us sing to the Creator of the cosmos,
to the divine power of love!
When we look at the wondrous display
of the heavens,
at the Earth with its infinite
variety of life,
Who are we that You love us, that You
rejoice in our being;
that You trust us to care for creation
in all its splendor,
inviting us to become co-creators
with You?
Let us celebrate the mystery of life!
Let us commit our lives to
the Divine Plan!
~ Nan C. Merrill in MEDITATIONS AND MANDALAS
