Feeling all tied up in a knot and needing to experience some Freshness in your life? Come and see… encounter Rest.
A monthly gathering every second Saturday of the month.
7:00pm Gather at The Center for meditation to enter into Rest.
8:00pm Gather into small groups of about 5 people and distribute bags of items to each group.
In Stillness, go out into the street to encounter our homeless brothers and sisters while sharing items.
Gentle Approach:
– Calmly greet everyone like a friend at a party you haven’t seen in a long while.
– Ask if they’d like something to drink or eat.
– Ask their name and share yours, smile 🙂
– If someone asks for prayer and someone in your group feels comfortable, then great, otherwise…
Get to know ‘em! Listen to their personal experiences.
– In general, offer everyone one item each, with compassion.
– We do not give out money or advice, simply be present and love people.
– Stay with your small group, obeying traffic signals and staying on the sidewalk.
– For our resting friends too tired to say hello, it’s best to leave a bottled water instead of food.
9:00-10:00pm Gather back at The Center to share experiences of Freshness from the night in the “common homelessness” of our lives.
Parking is 10$ inside the Church parking lot inside the gate near the school.
**prior to the event all are welcome to help prepare items from 5-5:45pm that will be handed out later in the evening and/or attend the 6pm Mass at Blessed Sacrament
