Rosemont Community Retreat House, 19 Montrose Avenue, Bryn Mawr, United States
Join our parish family and friends for six hours of fun (and a chance for all to cultivate mindful attention, the very essence of prayer). Through mindful movement, non-competitive games, arts and crafts projects, read-aloud stories, and sing-along songs, we’ll build a community of the present moment. Together, we’ll identify new (and tried and true) ways of supporting and caring for ourselves, each other, and our children. So, round everyone up and come on out. We’ll transform “just come as you are” into “become just as you are,” through play, prayer, and praise.
