The facilitator is Maureen O’Brien who is a writer and speaker who combines her 25 years of teaching with her deep faith. She’s the author of “What was Lost: Seeking Refuge in the Psalms” and the forthcoming “Gather the Fragments: My Year of Finding God’s Love”. There is no charge for the program, however a free will offering will be available. “Coffee and” will be provided. Come join us for a beautiful day of inspiration!

At this retreat Psalm 23 will be used as a jumping off point into the beauty, range, and usefulness of the Psalms. Engaging in a series of activities that brings us into these ancient poems, we will see how they speak to specific joys and challenges in our lives today. Together we will focus on creating community by reflecting on how the Psalms illuminate our own varied faith experiences. Through contemplation, sharing, and listening to others, we will gain insight into how the Psalms can deepen our relationship with God and continuously offer renewal.
