Deep Listening: Do you feel overwhelmed with the words and noise that swirls constantly within and around you? You’re invited to a pastor’s sabbath where we will take time to be still and to listen.

In the silence, The Word becomes more audible; His Peace permeates more deeply, and there is refreshment that comes from time apart. Come away to the quiet, to the calm, to the Creator. Share rich liturgy and holy hours through the day and night. Experience communion and consolation. Be made new from the inside out.
Take time for rest, renewal and restoration.
