Lenten Quiet Day: Repentance as Resistance
Saturday April 5, 9am-2:00pm

Emmanuel Episcopal Church invites you to a special Lenten Quiet Day on Saturday, April 5th, from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM, featuring speaker Steve Garnaas-Holmes. This retreat will reflect on the theme "Repentance as Resistance" and explore how repentance can transform hearts and challenge systems of injustice.

 

Lent is a season to reflect on personal and communal sin. Through scripture, quiet reflection, and guided conversations, Steve Garnaas-Holmes will lead participants in exploring how Jesus’ life and teachings confront the temptations of power, oppression, and sin.

 

“Repentance is more than turning away from personal sins; it’s about embracing God’s transformative work in our hearts and our communities,” said Reverend Brett Johnson.

 

The retreat will include:

• Guided reflections by Steve Garnaas-Holmes on scripture and cultural sin.

• Quiet time for prayer and personal discernment.

• Opportunities for group reflection and discussion.
