DESERT DAYS First Fridays in even months The Desert Days series is about listening for God’s leading. The main point of the day is to spend time in quiet with our holy and loving God. Within the unhurried rhythm of the day, find a place that nurtures your soul, maybe outside, with as few distractions as possible, and just “be.” Sense God within you; respond with your heart. It seems God also delights in having uninterrupted time with each person, to have our faces turned toward this One who loves. August led by Catherine Powell, the Founding Servant Leader of The Anchorage. Her formation includes the Shalem Spiritual Guidance Program, the 30-day Ignatian Spiritual Exercises, and Jesuit Center training to lead 8-day retreats. Her passion is sharing a mutual love relationship with God. October led by Jill Minasi, who aspires to live a more contemplative life every day. She is a Guardian ad Litem, with a counseling background. She is originally from VA, is married to John and is the mother of two semi-grown children.

December led by Matt Rollins, who serves as the Minister of Community Engagement at First Baptist Greenville and is passionate about helping people connect the inner work of becoming the full, authentic self God desires for them with the outer work of helping the world look more like the Kingdom of God on earth.
