When: Thursday, April 17, 7:00PM

Where: St. Madeleine Sophie Parish (Koinonia Room), 4400 130th Place SE, Bellevue 98006 (Factoria area).

You are invited to gather and experience a 400-year-old Christian meditation, using our imaginations to enter into the scripture passage which invites us to encounter the risen Jesus.
