Seeking the Divine in Difficult Times
Finding Hope Amidst the Darkness
A Bread of Life Sponsored Retreat
Often, the storms of life upend us without notice. Yet, like it or not, storms are also agents of transformation.
- Mark Nepo
How do we seek the Divine in the midst of the storm? How can we see the flower growing through the crack in the sidewalk? Sometimes it is clear and finding hope is easy. Other times it is hard to see where God is in the middle of a difficult time. You may even feel as if you are in a game of hide and seek, looking for the Divine with a restless heart, hoping to find a sense of peace or an answer to a tough decision.
If you are trying to make sense of the violence and suffering in the world or feeling frustrated with unanswered questions simmering within, we invite you to join us for a morning of reflection and prayer. Through reflections, journaling, song, and prayer ritual, you will be offered a sacred space to honor wherever you are on your journey and open yourself up to a God of Hope.

I had never participated in a retreat before, so I thought an online retreat would be a good way to start a personal spiritual journey in a very non-threatening way. I loved it as it has opened my heart to new beginnings of courage and trust in God’s strength for me.
