    Ash Wednesday Meditation Retreat

     Entering Our Wilderness

    Ash Wednesday Meditation Retreat Westside Baptist Church March 2, 2022

    Please watch the retreat video using the following link. The video will only be available during 7am to midnight on March 2, 2022.

    Reminders:
    • During this meditation program, please refrain from speaking (including whispering) and try your best to not make any noise, until it is over. 
    • Please maintain your solitude.
    • Before you begin, please prepare a journal and a pen for you to write down what you receive during these mediation exercises. 
    • Find yourself a location where you can be undisturbed. But if audio distraction is unavoidable, you may also want to prepare some background music or white noise to shield out those distractions.
    • You may also want to have your Bible ready, so that you can have the text before you as you meditate. We will be reading from The Message tonight. You can access the Message from the website BibleGateway.com
    • There will be a number of places in the program where you will be asked to stop the video and meditate on the questions provided. There will be a suggested length of time. You are welcome to spend more time than suggested, however, try not to spend less time on those meditations than the suggestions.
    • Please reserve about 90 minutes for this retreat program.
