Bringing Creativity to Prayer and Worship
July 30, 8:30-3
St. Francis, Rio Rancho, NM

After TWO+ years of COVID-delay Women's Ministry is delighted that we can gather for this inspiring event. We'll be at St. Francis, Rio Rancho and there are some local in-home lodging options.
Linda Rounds-Nichols* is our leader. She will lead us in a full day workshop/ retreat event from 8:30AM-3:30PM on July 30 at St. Francis Episcopal Church, Rio Rancho. (2903 Cabezon NE, Rio Rancho) 

Come ready to use creativity and play as ways to joyfully pray and worship! During this retreat we will learn and experience a potpourri of ways to utilize rhythm, movement, and the visual arts in our prayer and worship. 

Because of the hands-on format, this will be totally in-personm and attendance is limited to 20 women.  Lunch will be provided.

This Palm Sunday will likely be different than an other we have experienced. I invite you to join an online worship service if you church will not be holding in-person services.

There is a growing list of them on the Diocesan website, Coronavirus Resource page.
