Feeling Empty, Being Filled

In this day of contemplation, we will notice the places we feel empty in our lives and experience the connection between expressing gratitude, experiencing abundance, and practicing generosity. Using biblical scriptures, inspirational writings, and a variety of prayer experiences — body prayer, guided meditation, silent reflection, and small group sharing — we will move toward a more fulfilling and abundant life that God intends for us.

All are welcome to attend the Friends Day of Prayer retreats, held monthly on the first Wednesday of the month. It is not required to attend every month, so register for one or more sessions as your schedule allows. While the presenters and topics vary, each Friends Day of Prayer typically includes pastries and conversation at 9:30am, a morning presentation at 10am, an optional Mass, a delicious lunch, short periods of free time to enjoy the grounds or shop in the bookstore, and an afternoon presentation.

Rev. Mary Ka Kanahan is an ordained elder in The United Methodist Church. Her first career in public parks and recreation in the DC Metropolitan area informs her wholistic understanding of what it means to live an abundant life. She completed her M.Div. degree at Wesley Theological Seminary in May 2009. Mary Ka has been the Director of Women’s Retreats for a national non-profit organization and has led numerous spiritual retreats for all people.
