Seeds of Hope

seed of hope

Although created in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, this series of retreat guides can be used for any season that feel trying and challenging. 

God often uses agricultural metaphor in the Bible to describe the process of spiritual transformation. Any gardener will tell you that a harvest begins with a single seed. And that seed gets planted in the ground, dies, and transforms into a plant that grows and multiplies with life.

This Seeds of Hope series was created to help you consider the process of growth that happens in the hidden place of our hearts. The places within us where grief, anxiety, anger, and confusion may abound. It may not look like much good is happening on the surface of our lives these days, but we can trust that God is always at work growing something beyond what we can see with our eyes.

This series of three retreats can be used individually or as a group. They include worship, reflecting on art, scripture and prayer. While intended to be used in the order listed, you may use them as you choose. There is also a leaders guide.
