Retreat: The Sacredness of Tears

Come explore the grace of tears through the prism of mystery - how our God invites us to embrace both tears and their paradox: "You changed my mourning into dancing. You clothed me with gladness." Presenter is Margie M. Walker. Come gift yourself a day of noticing and nurturing, holding the both/and of one's tears: those that flow from laughter and being loved, as well as those that come from hurt and heart ache. Come delve into the holy one's promise to hold and honor our every tear with Margie who lives in gratitude for how her tears of joy alongside tears of loss have revealed God's gracious ways over many seasons.
