Advent Retreat for Clergy and Worship Leaders
November 7th – 8th, 2011
Beginning at noon Monday and ending at 4pm Tuesday, this retreat will provide time for participants to engage the Advent biblical texts and experience new ways to enliven congregational worship for the season. The scriptures will be read. Images and themes in the biblical texts will be explored using art and other resource materials. There will be time for guided meditation, reflection and expression. Conversation, prayer-time, and quiet will surround these hours of retreat. If you desire time to prepare yourself for the Advent/Christmas season, this retreat will jump-start your biblical imagination, and invite you into a creative and focused encounter with Emmanuel: God with us.
