From God’s provision of manna in the wilderness to Jesus’ miraculous multiplication of loaves, bread functions throughout Scripture as a sign of God’s presence and provision. As a professional baker and practical theologian, Kendall Vanderslice spent a lot of time reflecting on the connection between the dough that clung to her hands at work and the bread blessed and pressed into her palm at church, ultimately seeing that they both were tangible reminders that God was with her and that God cared. 

During the Bake & Pray retreat, Kendall will teach you how to make bread in terms of liturgy rather than recipe, allowing the rhythms of rest and repetition to shape you as the you shape your bread. Whether a sourdough master or scared of yeast, Bake & Pray will open your eyes to God’s gift of bread in a new way—you’ll never bake or break a loaf the same way again.
