Spring Spiritual Retreat
Saturday April 12th
8:30 am to 1:30 pm

Plymouth will host an opportunity for friends to step out of the hustle and bustle of life to rest in the presence of our communal love for one another and God’s love for us. It is hard to just stop activities. They are important for the good work that is achieved. There also is an importance of tending to the inward life, paying attention to where strength and discernment come from for us to live a faithful life full of activities. Consider laying down responsibilities for a few hours to rest contemplatively with fellow members of your faith community on Saturday morning (Oct 19th) to travel prayerfully in the garden of your spirit.
 
We envision the day to be:
8:30 - Arrival and coffee, tea, other goodies
9:00 to 9:30 - Centering worship together
9:30 to 11:30 - Contemplative activities entered into individually or with a friend(s) such as
    • Reading: Lectio Divina – prayerful reading
    • Writing: journalling, poetry, song writing,
    • Hand work: drawing, painting, sewing, knitting, fixing items
    • Contemplative walking, sitting in the beauty of our trees and campus
    • Contemplative sharing of the heart one with another
    • Other?
These activities can occupy the full time or flow one into another
11:30 - Worship Sharing
12:15 - Shared Breaking bread – Shared Lunch
