The retreat begins with check-in from 4:00pm–5:30pm Central. If possible, please allow enough time to settle into your room before we gather in Ballrooms 9, 10, and 11 (our teaching area for this retreat) at 5:30pm. We will pray together for our meal and then walk to the dining area where you will be eating with your small groups. Enjoy this time together as you catch up with each other personally and share about your experiences with solitude and silence during the last quarter. Guidance for the dinner time conversation will be in your folder as you arrive, and the convener for your group is listed below so you will be ready to begin after you are seated. We hope everyone can be seated and starting to share by 6:00pm. Gathering prayer is at 7:00pm in the chapel. 
 
Conveners: Toni Lawler, Kathy Beebe, Melissa Gray, Anne Andras, Bradley Brestel, Aubree Cantrall, Johnese Burtram, Richard Jorgensen, Lisa Fletcher, Phil Carnuccio, Gil Dukeman, Keith Loo, Mary Morgan, Carolyn Dunlap, Jerry Henderson, Josh Polanco, and Tonia Lyon.
