Be Still and Know
Be Still and Know “Journey with Benedict-Study and Prayer”
May 31, 2025 9am - 4pm
The Rule of Benedict is a guide to a Christian lifestyle that has survived for over 1500 years. This one-day retreat will be a further journey into the elements of that life. We will spend time in extended lectio with scripture and the Fathers of the early church. We will attune ourselves to the rhythm of study and the rhythm of prayer in community. Quiet time will give reflection and movement to the day.
Attendees should bring a Bible, journal and a concordance (if they have one)
The cost to attend is $15 per person, lunch is included.
This retreat is partilly funded by the Albany Blooms Thriving Parish Initiative
