36th Annual Transformations Prayer Retreat
Leaders: Rev. Kate Conolly and Rev. Michael Powell
Greetings, fellow Transformers
We will be celebrating our 36th year of sharing contemplative prayer, stimulating discussions, nourishing food, outstanding fellowship, music and the magnificent manifestation of GOD (the Great Out Doors) at our beloved Suttle Lake.
The format will be similar to the last two years with as many meals and activities outdoors as possible. More information on the book for this year will come in the spring or early summer. We are both looking forward to being with you again.
May Christ be your shalom,
Kate & Michael
The Prayer Retreat is structured so that your days can be custom-made to provide you with the rhythm of community, solitude, and worship you need for spiritual renewal.
There are three worship experiences each day, grounded in daily scripture. Each morning begins with Holy Communion. At noon we gather for quiet, contemplative worship. At 5 o’clock we share an interactive worship time focusing on the scripture that we have lived with during the day. There is ample free time for rest, hiking, reading, and canoeing on the lake. Kate and Michael will lead evening programs.
All of this takes place in the beautiful and restorative setting of Suttle Lake Camp where your retreat will be grounded in Christ-like hospitality and delicious, nourishing meals.
