Contemplative Prayer Retreat
Saturday, February 12th, 9:30am - 12:00pm
Bethany Fellowship Hall and Online
Are you craving quiet space and a way to draw closer to the Lord in prayer during 2022? All are welcome at this retreat to learn new practices to listen to the Lord in prayer. Rev. Dr. Lynne Baab will provide an introduction and overview about contemplative prayer. Participants will then have the choice of break out rooms (with some available for those on Zoom) where they can learn about two different types of Contemplative Prayer as led by Linda Cutshall, Kelly Langford and Anne van Roden.
