Phoenix Faith: Catching up with the Spirit of God with Rev. Cindy Garis August

“The wind blows where it wills, and you can hear the sound it makes, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes; so it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.”. (John 3: 8)

We know the saying “like a phoenix rising from its ashes” - and we know that from the burn out of recent years, we are ready for an image of life anew. Our Christian faith recognizes the cycle of life, death, and new life. It is the transformation of the Holy Spirit. At least, that’s what we say. How do we encounter the Spirit of God? Is it elusive? Tangible? Nourishing? Challenging?

Our times of presentation and prayer will be facilitated by Rev. Cindy Garis. Come and explore our relationship with mysticism and contemplative prayer practices. In this time away, you will receive refreshment through rest, food, fellowship - and, yes, the Holy Spirit. This renewal will be accompanied by times for small group discussion, worship and personal free time.

You may already be familiar with spiritual practices and with other clergy, but this time apart will be restoring and renewing for you in body, mind and spirit.

Should this event not be able to take place, due to continued Covid restrictions, you will be able to obtain a refund.
