Bread Making Retreat

A hands-on retreat for all ages, with or without breadmaking experience. A great activity for parents, grandparents and children or couples.

A morning of bread making and prayer for community

“They devoted themselves to the teaching of the apostles and to the communal life, to the breaking of the bread and to the prayers.”

— Acts of the Apostles 2:42

Breadmaking Retreat

March 21 (Saturday) | 9 a.m. - 12 p.m.

Led by Lucia Ferrara

Inspired by Acts 2:42, we’ll spend the morning making (and breaking!) bread, in fellowship and prayer. This morning is designed for each participant to be hands-on and heart-in!

What?

There will be time for reflection and prayer during the kneading and rising, shaping and baking of dough, with quiet time for silent prayer, journaling or one-on-one sharing, culminating with the invitation to be “eucharist” for one another. The afternoon will conclude with a simple meal of bread and soup.

Who?

This a perfect group activity to share with grandchildren or grandparents or older adults. Invite your mother and sisters. Teens are also welcome!

Cost?

A free-will offering will be accepted for the program. We suggest $15 per person to cover expenses. Scholarships are available. No one will be turned away.

We will be making loaves of braided Easter bread on this retreat.
