The Linger Prayer Retreat

As part of our Spiritual Formation ministry, we have sought to understand the vital importance of the rhythms of silence and solitude in our lives in Christ. As part of that introduction, we have worked with Island Lake Retreat Centre to lead a 24-hour Silent Retreat for our congregation each of the last three years. This year, working with Island Lake again, we have extended the retreat to a full weekend, which will be held March 6-8. Now called "Linger Prayer Retreat," the purpose remains the same: to help you step away from the noise of the world and learn to hear the still, small voice of God.

Over the course of the weekend, you will enter into extended silence, periods of fasting, guided prayer rhythms and receive one personal spiritual direction session with either Father Robert Steele or Melissa Stroeve.

Whether silence is part of your regular practice or completely new to you, this retreat is open and accessible to everyone. If you are interested in joining us, or would like more information, please follow the link below for more details and an opportunity to register.
