Four-Week Series: Living in the Presence will be held each Tuesday, Sept. 3-24. Presented by Lynne Moldenhauer, IHM, and Julie Vieira, IHM, participants will explore the various prayer forms that can help us to become more consciously present to the Divine in our lives by paying attention to our seeing, to sounds and silence, through nature, through body awareness and so forth. God seeks to engage us and invites us to be mindful of the sacredness that is in us and around us. We can, with practice, live in the Presence.

Suggested offering is $40. To register, email maxiscenter@ihmsisters.org.

Hope in a Time of Chaos – Day of Reflection on Contemplation, is presented by Nancy Sylvester, IHM.

Suggested offering is $50 and includes lunch. To register, call 734-240-5494 or email riverhouse@ihmsisters.org.
