As a community we live by a rhythm and rule of of life.  We covenant to pray with and for one another and the world.  You are always welcome to join us for morning (9ish am), midday (12ish pm), and/or afternoon (3ish pm ) prayer.

We walked the labyrinth for the first time yesterday during morning prayer.  It was such a blessing!  As I walked, I began to see the faces of all the workers, contractors, professionals and volunteers who have given so many hours to the restoration and transformation of the manse at Saint Barnabas Presbyterian Church to Retreat House Spirituality Center.  We are so blessed.  I pray that they were also blessed by working here.

We move from renovation to the daily rhythm and rule of life at the house.  Come join us when you are in need of some prayer time.

RH Vision: …so that we may lead lives worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to God, as we bear fruit in every good work and as we grow in the knowledge of God. – rooted in Colossians 1:10
