Description: Are you weary and discouraged over the times in which we are living? It seems that the violence, hatred, wars, and disasters in our world are so overwhelming, not to speak of the turmoil that may be going on in our own personal lives. The winter months, especially February when we are yearning for Spring to arrive, can zap our energy and we wonder where God is in all of this. Where do we go to find hope? As we gather for this morning of reflection, let’s ponder what hope means, find ways to keep hope in our hearts and give that hope to others. There will be input, sharing, prayer, and time to ponder and reflect on God’s abiding presence in our lives.
Fee: $25
