the Fall Women’s Spirituality Retreat With the Rev. Lisa Grant September 19-21, 2010 We will explore some everyday and yet ancient prayer practices that create space for life forming grace. How do we encounter God in scripture? What is the role of solitude and silence in prayer? When is walking good for body and soul? Is it true that “to create is to pray?” How can we pray beyond words with hands and feet, sighs and singing? What does it mean to become a praying community? Olmsted is a unique environment which invites us into the presence of the Holy. With a relaxing rhythm to the schedule, my prayer is that participants will find some new ways in which Christ can tend their souls with the peace that only the Spirit brings. The primary reading resource for this retreat is: Creating a Life with God; the Call of Ancient Prayer Practices by Daniel Wolpert (Upper Room Books) Leading this retreat is the Rev. Lisa A. Grant. An enthusiastic and engaging retreat leader, Lisa has been an inspiration to many. As of September 1, 2010, she is serving as pastor of the Edinboro United Methodist Church in Edinboro, Pennsylvania. After receiving her Master of Divinity from Pittsburgh Theological Seminary, Grant was ordained as a full Elder in 1984. Her gift for leading retreats is backed up by an extensive list of Continuing Education studies and Professional Development instruction. Her career has given her many opportunities to serve United Methodist churches as a pastor in Butler, Bethel Park and New Castle. She has also served the WPA Conference in other capacities, most recently as the Director of Connectional Ministries. Her interests include Christian Formation and devotional classics, reading, old movies and spending time with extended family. Retreat Cost: $182.00 per person. Private Room request: Additional $20
