February Guided Silent Retreat

We will begin at 9:00 am  with a gathering time of Morning Prayer and Introduction to prayer beads as a contemplative practice. This prayer tool can be especially helpful and centering as we move into and through the season of Lent, which begins on February 14. After Morning Prayer and the Introduction, we will then give you some instructions and guidance in creating your very own set of traditional “Protestant Prayer Beads”. We will have a dedicated “workshop” space where you will be able to craft these from the materials we provide for you. 

You will be free to use the day as you wish – reading the texts or doing your own reading and praying. There will be plenty of time for reading and reflection, prayerful walking, and space for prayerful art. Participants will receive handouts with readings, prayers for use as lectio divina as well as reflective questions. 

The cost of the retreat is $35 and includes the price of lunch, one set of prayer beads, and a little booklet of liturgies and templates you can use with your prayer beads. 

We don’t want anyone to miss out because of pricing. Contact Haley for information on scholarships at hbrown@chapelwood.org.
