Pathways Gives Thanks for Recent Donation of Tree Work The black oak in this photo is one of the largest in our woods. Due to significant decay a large part of this tree was about to fail, shortening the life of this tree. Jonathan Corbin with My Tree Climber (seen in this photo) generously donated his time and materials to perform a crown reduction and install a cable to stabilize the tree. We are grateful to Jonathan’s contribution to Pathways Retreat to help save this tree. A Blessing for February Blessed are those who have made peace with the past with all they have done and left undone. Blessed are those who have found the courage to inventory their failings and missteps, who know their weaknesses and vulnerabilities. Blessed are those who have heard a word of forgiveness from those they have hurt—and those who have felt the accepting love of God. - Christine Robinson Calendar Iona Healing Prayer Online 3 rd Mondays, Noon February 20 Prayer of Commitment In person and online Tuesdays, 8-8:30am with optional conversation following prayer Lectio Divina In person and online Wednesdays, 8-8:30am with optional conversation following prayer Centering Prayer In person and online Thursdays, 8-8:30am Creation Prayer In person Fridays, 8-8:45am Pathways is on Facebook & Instagram Like Pathways Retreat on Facebook and follow us on Instagram to stay up to date with announcements and events.
