Special Lenten Offering at Ascension.....
Make a Date with a Mystic.....
A Free Evening
Exploring the Life of Etty Hillesum
Thursday, March 4th, 2010, 7:30-9:00 PM
(in the parish hall)
"When I think of mystics, I think of ordinary people
living out an incredibly intimate experience
of relationship with God - and I wonder
what the message is for me in my life today."
Immserse yourself in the story of Etty Hillesum, a young Jewish thinker, mystic and writer whose letters and diaries describe life in Amsterdam during the German occupation. See how her life and writing can inspire us today.
Sponsored by the Shalem Institute, an ecumenical organization committed to the nurture of contemplative living and leadership.
The evening will be led by Sr. Rose Mary Dougherty and will include an introduction to Etty Hillesum, prayer, and small group sharing.
No registration necessary. Free will offerings gratefully accepted.
