Sister Barbara Brown

To be a member of the fledgling Early Church … what did it mean? What was required? In this sacred Easter Season, let us reflect on the faith, courage, and resiliency of the men and women who continued to live “the way” of Jesus after his resurrection and ascension. What can they teach us for our own times as we wrestle with the challenges of the Christian life in 2024? 

Come and join us for an important night of inspiration and reflection as Sister Barbara Brown leads The Grace of Resiliency in the Early Church. This Twilight Retreat is set for 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday, April 16. We will gather in the first-floor conference room of St. Francis Center at Monocacy Manor in Bethlehem, Pa. Online attendance through Zoom also is available.
