Praying With Poetry for Advent – Retreat Day

Advent is a season of longing, of waiting in hope, of sometimes embracing darkness. These are feelings that take us beyond words and into prayer. This Friends Day, we will use the words of several poets to lead us into prayer. The day will include brief presentations and readings to show how poets’ words can take us to a deeper place, with invitations to corporate silence and optional writing. Facilitated by Dr. Kathleen Staudt.
