A Re-Treat for You

01/20/2012

 
A Re-Treat for You - You’re invited for a time of peace and experiential prayer in a safe, relaxed and holy environment.  Rev’d Shirley and her husband Earnest will lead a weekend-long retreat March 2 – 4, for only $130 (room and meals included) at Richmond Hill, only 50 minutes away.  Please contact Rev’d Shirley immediately if interested because we need to see if we have enough people to make it go.  The theme is “Knowing God, Knowing Yourself through Prayer,” and it is a good opportunity if you’ve never before been on retreat or if you’re an experienced retreat-goer.
