In the midst of the busyness of life, we need times of rest and renewal in solitude with God. Fuller Prayer Retreats seek to provide space to pray and meditate on Scripture as we enjoy the beauty of God’s creation. This year, the Student Life and Services office at Fuller Seminary is offering six prayer retreats at the Los Angeles Arboretum, a beautiful 127 acre botanical garden, located a few miles from campus. The last retreat is May 3, 2008..

CONTENT

The meditation will be a brief sharing on areas related to spiritual formation, such as silence, prayer, contemplation, lectio divina, social justice, mission, spirituality, community, and creation. A Scripture text will be at the center of each meditation. Retreat participants will be given prayer materials, which can be used for further reflection during the time of solitude at the Arboretum. Music, liturgy, and other creative art forms may be incorporated into the sharing time.

Chris Murphy (M.Div. 2002),
a certified Spiritual Director and Fuller staff member,
will be leading these retreats.
