Lent presents a perfect opportunity for us to enter into a desert experience. It creates a sense of longing, as do circumstances in our lives when nothing makes sense except the presence of God. In our hunger and in our weakness we find strength and hope in God; when we are empty, Christ fills us.

Come prepared to be profoundly filled with the presence of God as we explore the many ways to open our minds to recognizing and releasing the richness of a grateful heart. Enjoy the fellowship of other women who are also taking a brief pause from daily life to deepen their own spirit of gratitude in all circumstances.
