How can the ACTS Retreat experience be more fully incorporated into the spiritual life?
This four-night series will focus on the major themes of the ACTS Retreat: Adoration, Community, Theology and Service with the intent to more fully understand what each theme has to teach us and how each theme can be lived out in our daily lives. Each night of the series will focus on one of the themes, offering prayer, teachings, rituals and communal sharing. This series of evening reflections is open to all who wish to reflect on these spiritual themes whether you have attended an ACTS Retreat or not. Participants will gain knowledge and understanding of how these four themes can be expressed and experienced practically in their daily lives. Participants are encouraged to create a quiet and prayerful space for the themselves for each night.
