We will assemble in the St. Charles Amphitheater at 5:30 p.m. for prayer and then walk together to the dining room to begin sharing as soon as your group is settled. 

Listed below are the conveners for your small groups. If you are named as the convener below and know you will be running late on Monday, please let your small group know. The convener has responsibility for Monday's dinner discussion:

Please judge how much time each person will have to share (5–10 minutes for a larger group) and use the questions for your sharing about prayer over the last quarter (the questions were in Ruth's recent email and also will be in your folder).
 
While the dinner hour can't have the same rhythm of silence-and-speaking as your group spiritual direction times, it can still contain the same spirit of allowing each person to share their experience of prayer these past three months and receiving their words with listening reverence. Before arriving, consider locating the picture of your small group and spending some time in prayer for each member. 
 
The convener will act as time-keeper for the small group direction experience Monday night. Instructions will be given while on retreat.


Conveners: Faith Miller, Trena Garrett, Brandon Hutchins, Heather Yutzy, Peggy Crooks, Heather Henson, Jim Neill, Sharon Lobel, Mark Hughes, Carolyn Harrison, Diane Hoppe Hugo, Judy McGimsey, Christine O'Brien, Scott See, Chris Muller, Jill Prout, and Joseph Nieves

Before you turn in your paper to TC16papers@transformingcenter.org, please refer to your formatting guidelines found in the During the Quarter document to avoid getting your paper sent back to you. 

If you would like to book an additional night on either end of the retreat, you can reply to this email by January 2nd, and we will inform the Q Center. You will pay for the extra night when you arrive.
