Trinity Lakeside Abbey News

2026 Eastertide 2

Contemplative Walking Group

Join us Saturdays at 8:00 am, May 16 – June 27. Each week we gather on the front porch to listen to a scripture passage, then walk silently, then gather back on the porch for prayer. Contact admin@trinitylakeside.org with questions or to sign up.

A Weekly Mini Retreat: Sunday Worship + Listening Group

Join us Sundays at 10:00 am for a Weekly Mini Retreat: contemplative worship with Holy Communion followed by unhurried fellowship.

Starting in September, we will host a monthly Listening Group before Sunday worship. See https://renovare.org/lg for more on Listening Groups.

Guided Silent Retreats

Jesus invites, Let’s go off by ourselves to a quiet place and rest awhile (Mark 6:31).

Enjoy a quiet day of prayer, silent reflection and gentle conversation. Each retreat features a themed written guide of meditations around scripture, art, poetry or nature.

Upcoming day retreats: Saturday, September 26, November 14 and December 5, 9:00 am – 3:00 pm. See the Retreat page for details and to register.

Online Book Group: Hearing God

How do we recognize God’s voice in the day to day of life?

Wednesdays, 12:00 – 1:00 pm, September 2 – November 4. We will read and discuss Hearing God: Developing a Conversational Relationship with God by Dallas Willard. No reading is due for the first meeting, then we will read and discuss one chapter per week. Email admin@trinitylakeside.org with questions or to register.
