Great Lent Parish Retreat, 2012

March 23 and 24

Guest Speaker: Khouria Stefanie Yazge

Friday, March 23, 7 pm: “What happened to our shared dominion?”

Our creation story has some interesting points we often miss, like God’s declaration that man and woman will have dominion together over creation. But what happened to that shared authority? And how do we understand what happened in humanity’s Fall in light of Christ’s Resurrection? Where should we be as men and women today?

Saturday, March 24, 10 am: “What Does it Mean to be ‘The Helper?‘”

Genesis 2 says that the only “not good” in God’s creation is if the man is alone. So God creates “the helper according to his own kind.“ But what exactly does it mean to be the helper? How does that work in our lives?
