Upcoming Fall Events

Posted byancientstreams10Posted inUncategorized

Dear Friends,
Are you longing to go deeper in your experience of God? Perhaps you can relate to St John of the Cross’ insight, “there is a certain ‘ah, I-don’t-know-what’ that one feels is yet to be said, something unknown still to be spoken, and a sublime trace of God as yet uninvestigated but revealed to the soul” (Spiritual Canticle).

Ancient Streams seeks to provide opportunities to search out these deep desires for God in solitude and community. Our gatherings honour both the heart’s cry to “seek his face” alone and our need to be together expressing to others what is in our soul and receiving insight and encouragement from God’s word, each other and those who have walked with God before us.

We are very grateful to each one who has given financially to Ancient Streams. Your gifts allow us to continue offering this ministry to others.

Fall Outdoor Retreat
“Come to me…and I will give you rest.” (Matt.11:28)

Dallas Willard reminds us, “We must arrange time for our communion with God as we draw aside in solitude and silence.” What better way to do that than to “come away” with Jesus into his abundantly beautiful creation! This retreat day is a time to set aside our distractions, open ourselves to God and receive His presence in the world He has created. There will be an extended time of solitude as well as corporate times for prayers, scripture and sharing our experience with each other. At sunset, we will conclude the day with a shared meal and communion by the lake. Come, receive, and find rest for your soul.

Date: Sept. 28, 2024
Location: Bertram Park, Kelowna
Time: 12:00pm-7:00pm
Cost: $25.00
RSVP: ancientstreams10@gmail.com

Join us this fall! 

Contemplative Prayer Small Group
In his book, Into the Silent Land, Martin Laird writes, “We are built for contemplation…communion with God in the silence of the heart is a God-given capacity, like the rhododendron’s capacity to flower, the fledgling’s for flight, and the child’s for self-forgetful abandon and joy.” Are you feeling drawn to silent prayer and discovering God’s presence in contemplation?

In this small group, we will explore “the silent land” of contemplative prayer. We will be reading Martin Laird’s book, Into the Silent Land, learning from saints from the past and also each other’s prayer journey. Each time we meet, we will make space to practice contemplative prayer together.

First and Third Wednesdays 7:00-9:00pm beginning Oct. 2, 2024. 
Contact us for more details and to sign up.
