Advent Quiet Day:
Blessed by the Wisdom of Mary
Wednesday, December 2 
9:30 am - 2:00 pm
As we enter the Advent season, let us consider Mary’s situation alongside our own lives. Where is God asking for our Yes? How do we respond when we are not sure we are up to the task? How can we be encouraged by Mary’s trust in God to do what seemed impossible?

During this Advent Quiet Day our time together will be spent in prayer, reflection, journaling, and conversation. We will meet in the sanctuary of St. Paul's Episcopal Church at the Retreat House at Hillsboro. The church sanctuary is arranged for the safety of physical distancing and also allows for intimate sharing.
