Lenten Weekend 2020
The Spirituality of Creativity and Play
February 28 – March 1, 2020
Featuring Rev. Lisle Garrity
How do play and creativity nurture our spirituality? Our keynote speaker is pastor, retreat leader, and artist Rev. Lisle Garrity. We will connect art with spirituality using “Visio Divina” for a unique creative process and ultimately, a shared sacred journey. No experience or proficiency with art is necessary for this wonderful weekend! Youth and adults are encouraged to attend.
