A chance to feel God with you over Christmas
Withered: the God who offers release and freedom by being there with you in those places - in you and in life - that feel dry.
Finding Hope
11am - 3.30pm November 30, 2024
Clonard Monastery, Belfast
Begin Advent by taking time out to relax, to think and pray, to be with God. Slow down. Be surprised by God with us in these uncertain times. Find hope ... or stay still so that it might find you.
A day of song, prayer, scripture and story, peace and quiet, led by Breige O'Hare. Bring your own lunch. Tea/coffee provided. Ring Clonard reception 02890445950 to book.
Living in Hope

Led by Breige O'Hare. Bring a packed lunch. Tea/coffee provided. To book, ring Clonard Reception 02890445950
Laying Down

Celtic Advent
Online Six Wednesdays: beginning 15 November, 2023
Birds sing in the dark, before dawn breaks. Advent invites us into the same kind of experience of waiting. We are in a world full of God but it can feel very dark at times. Can we find some joy as we wait, even in difficult circumstances? Can we take hope from some awareness, how small at times, that God is with us, that his plan for us and for his creation is a good one and that we are part of it. Can we still sing in the dark - sad songs and glad songs - knowing that dawn is breaking?
Following the pattern of the Celtic Christians by starting Advent in mid November, we take the time to slow down to see God with us. We clear space to let hope and light surface in this cluttered, crazy world: God's light here with us, and more light and life to come.
