"Practices for your Lenten Journey”
A Morning Retreat with Doug & Adele Calhoun
Saturday, February 24, 9-12
Fellowship Hall
$30 per participant*
You may be one of those who are wondering: “I didn’t grow up with any Lenten awareness, so what do I do in Lent?” Even as Jesus grappled with the temptations of the evil one in the wilderness, so we face particular triggers that would lead us away from Christ. Lent and this retreat are an opportunity to focus on our inner journey with Jesus and those things that routinely inhibit our growth. We will have a rhythm of a brief talk laying a biblical context for our journey, then a spiritual practice and individual silence, followed by short time of debrief in small groups. Pastors, authors, and ABC Partners, Doug and Adele Calhoun will be our guides for this journey.
