“Hearing the Still Small Voice in the Midst of Chaos”
In Person and Virtual Retreat
With Grace Imathiu
February 12, 2022
Join us as we reflect on 1 Kings 19:12-13…
12 and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a sound of sheer silence. 13 When Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his mantle and went out and stood at the entrance of the cave. Then there came a voice to him that said, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”
We will gather on Saturday from 9:15 am – 4:00 pm. We will enjoy a taste of the Academy rhythms of study and prayer, silence and liturgy, solitude and relationship, rest and play. And we will be challenged as we learn from our presenter Grace Imathiu who will share with us on the topic of “Hearing the Still Small Voice in the Midst of Chaos”. You do not want to miss out on this opportunity to gather with old and new friends for this retreat held in person and via zoom.
