Hike and Pray
A newly forming parish group, Hike And Pray (HAP), will be meeting weekly to hike various area trails. As we hike, typically for 2 to 5 hours, we will also be praying - both with the understanding and in the Spirit. In addition to providing exercise and fellowship, we hope this activity will also assist in what has been termed 'the new evangelization.' We will carpool from St Ambrose parking lot. Hikers are reminded to bring plenty of water and that midway we'll be stopping for a light picnic/snack.

Thomas, sounds like a wonderful idea! I might have to start training, because I'm pretty sure I couldn't keep up with you guys right now, but it sounds amazing.
ReplyDeleteCarolyn, come and see. There's no set pace and I'll try to vary the hike distances, etc. The two upcoming hikes, to lakes in Big Cottonwood, are less strenuous.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a beautiful day for a hike!
