SIX DAY RETREATS

Questing and Questioning with the Gospel of Luke

During this retreat we will travel with the Gospel of Luke as we search for
the Spirit's wisdom to answer some of the questions that were significant
not only for Luke's communities, but are also relevant for our lives today.
How can we be prayerful, just, reconciled communities of rich and poor,
women and men, as we travel to our own 'Emmaus' with the risen Christ?

Together we will share guided biblical reflections, prayer and faith, with
time and space for our own personal and quiet reflection.

Just bring yourselves, your bible, and whatever writing materials you need
personally.

When: 12 - 19 July 2010
Led by: Sister Verna Holyhead SGS
