“Clay of the Earth—A Word for Today” Presenter Sr. Jane Miller

The Lord said “Rise up, be off to the potter’s house; there I will give you my message” (Jer 18:1-2) What does God want to tell you with the clay of the earth? As children clay was a part of play, at some point this play dropped from our experience. This reflection day, a hand on experience, will be spent working with clay and reflecting on the insights we receive and the glimpses of God. All are welcome, NO experience is needed.

9:30 to 2:30 at the Incarnation Center Gallitzin PA.
