SILENT WOMEN'S RETREAT #18 & 19
Theme: Stations of the Resurrection
This retreat traces fifteen key moments from the gospel accounts of Jesus’ resurrection appearances to his disciples and key stories from the Acts of the Apostles that challenge us to radical transformation in the Risen Christ.
From the empty tomb to the road to Damascus, the resurrection stories, and the experiences of the first community of believers offer hope for those traveling the journey of faith today. As we rest awhile at each of the fifteen stations, we gather the strength and courage to become a new creation for a wounded and weary world.
