Waiting in Joyful Hope for the Coming of our Saviour Jesus Christ:

An Advent Retreat

 

A 2.5 hour retreat that can be offered during the day or as an evening event. This retreat includes presentations on three themes, some time for silent reflection, and optional small group discussions. Handouts with prepared questions for reflection are provided.

 

First Reflection: Waiting

Why, O Lord, do you stand far off? Why do you hide yourself in time of trouble? Psalm 10:1

 

Second Reflection: Joy

When your greeting sounded in my ears, the baby in my womb leapt for joy...

My spirit rejoices in God my Saviour. Luke 1:44, 47

 

Third Reflection: Hope

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13
