Congregation Lenten Retreat: Spirituality of Joy and Sorrow
On the day before Palm Sunday, begin the sacred journey of Holy Week with a congregation member retreat exploring the paradox of a life of faith-its joys and sorrows. This quiet retreat will conclude with Holy Eucharist.
The day will be led by Rev. Barbara Cawthorne Crafton, an Episcopal priest, spiritual director and author of the celebrated Almost Daily eMo and many books including recently published Jesus Wept: When Faith and Depression Meet. In addition to parish ministry, she served as a chaplain at Ground Zero during the recovery effort following the September 11 World Trade Center bombing. An actress, director and producer, she has worked for many years in combining the lively arts and the life of faith. Her books, articles, and radio scripts have won many awards, including numerous Polly Bond Awards from Episcopal Communicators and the coveted Gabriel Award for religious broadcasting. She is seen frequently on television both as a preacher and as a commentator on the Hallmark Channel New Morning and America at Worship and has been profiled extensively in electronic and print media throughout the world.
Early registration is encouraged. Registration is required.
Fee per person is $30 and includes a box lunch.
