Praying with Body, Mind and Spirit: 

"A CALL TO HOPE" 
WEBER CENTER, ADRIAN

If we have placed our trust in the economy, political system or technology we may feel overwhelmed and hopeless.  In times like these especially, God calls us to a deeper level of confidence than the world can give, to that seed of optimism planted deep within us, that great hope that can only be God.  It is through prayer that we come to know hope more fully.  Come away for a day of hopeful expectation and deeper connection with God.  Engage your whole self in prayer by using your body, mind and spirit along with movement, music, Scripture, guided meditation and journaling.  Basic movements will be taught which can be done by anyone, regardless of experience or physical limitation.

COST:  $45.00 (includes lunch)

For further information and registration contact: Weber Center, 517-266-4000
