A Moment in Time: Reflecting and Dreaming

Saturday, January 4, 2025

Grace Lutheran Church, 5201 Urbandale Ave.

Join us as we pause for a Moment in Time of Reflecting and Dreaming. This special New Year’s Silent Saturday invites you to reflect on the past year… listen for a “word” for the new year… create an intention for 2025... or just BE in the presence of God. The day will include a variety of spiritual practices you can choose to reflect on and be with for the day, along with centering prayer, the welcoming prayer and the gift of silence.
