Women’s One-Day Retreat
Grace and Gratitude – In the Grief of Our Everyday Lives

at The Church of St. Michael & St. George
Saturday, October 5
8:30 AM- 3 PM

How should we live knowing we and all we love will one day die? In the presence of such grief, how do we live with gratitude? These questions will guide our time together as we discuss Grace and Gratitude in the Grief of Our Everyday Lives.

Change and letting go is a natural part of life. This lesson may come to us through death through smaller losses such as the end of a relationship or even your favorite job. Loss and grief are inviting us to find gratitude and abundance through grace. When we open ourselves to the pain, we receive an invitation to deeper loving through grief.

Our day will include input, sharing, and quiet time for reflection. Guests are welcome!
