Advent Prayer Retreat - Anticipating Christ's Coming with Susan S. Phillips (co-sponsored by First Pres and New College Berkeley)
The Psalmist yearned for God, writing: "As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, O God" (Ps. 42:1). Do you yearn for God as intensely as you thirst for water? Or is your thirst for God obscured by other desires, disappointment, or distractions? Advent offers an opportunity to make space in the "mangers" of our lives for the God who is always coming to us, seeking our attention and devotion, and offering us new life. Enter Advent before facing the onslaught of the culture's Christmas. Join us for a morning spent in the refreshing streams of contemplative prayer.
Dates: December 13, 2008 Time: 9:00 AM-1:00 PM Location: Mears A and Church Lounge, Westminster Hall Cost: $25 (no lunch included) More Information or to Register: Visit www.newcollegeberkeley.org.
