Ancient Streams Fall 2021
What a summer we’ve had–heat waves, fires, day after day of smoky skies, Covid numbers rising again, the tumultuous events around the world…I, certainly, have felt the need to continually find my grounding in God as the Source of life, love and peace in the midst of it all. I’ve also realized once again how much I need the companionship of others who are also seeking to grow deeper roots in God. Accompanying each other in our journey of longing for God is one of the primary goals of Ancient Streams. Together we intentionally pursue practices that bring us into a greater awareness of God’s presence, love and transforming power–in our own lives and in His kingdom.
Our Fall Outdoor retreat at Bertram Park, Kelowna has become one of the rhythms we enjoy as a way to experience God’s loving presence in the world all around us. This is an afternoon and early evening with times of solitude and community, connecting with God and each other through prayer, scripture and attentiveness to God’s presence in His creation. Each year this day has been a special gift to us. I wonder what He will have for us this year! We’ve set the date for Sat., Oct. 2 and will be following Covid restrictions as they apply to our outdoor setting.
Along with our retreat day, this fall we are offering a twice a month small group (formerly our monthly meeting) which will be focusing on prayer. Jesus exhorted his disciples to remain in Him as a branch remains in the vine. Our group will be exploring some of what this oneness that Jesus described in John 15 is all about. We will be learning from some of those who have walked ahead of us on this ancient path, sharing together in our own practice of prayer, scripture reading, meditation and contemplation. Are you longing to connect more deeply and intimately with God? Then, come along and join us on the 2nd and 4th Thursday of each month. Contact us at ancientstreams10@gmail.com for more information, and so we can plan appropriately.
We hope that these offerings will be an encouragement to you and perhaps others you know.
Blessings,
Nancy Keery & Ancient Streams team
