"Courage for the Journey" workshop to be held at Augusta's Convent of St Helena, July 13-15
The workshop, which runs July 13-15, from Vespers through Sunday lunch, will be led
by Sr Veronica Aryeequaye, OSH.
Many of us feel disappointed with our lives and in our walk with God. We find ourselves unable to rely on God's word and promises. This leaves us with little meaning in spite of what we know of faith. We have the moral and spiritual support of our Christian community; yet still something seems missing.
Have you felt this way, unsupported and needing someone else to talk with? God, in God's own way, has accompanied Sr Veronica through many times of distress and brought her to a place of sharing with others how good and faithful God is in God's words of promise to lead us all the way, not leaving us comfortless or alone. Come and share your experience with others and learn to make your own journey with the strength and support of reliance on God's words.
Sr Veronica developed her teaching talents for many years as a middle-school teacher in Ghana, West Africa. She is currently training in Kairos prison work so she can take the love and word of God to people most hurting for God.
$160 including lodging, meals and program; $80 commuters. Partial scholarship funds available. Contact: Episcopal Convent of St Helena, 3042 Eagle Drive, Augusta GA 30906. 706.798.5201, ext 1 or augustaconvent@comcast.net.
