Blessings to each of you as you prepare for the next time the community is together! We have a few important details to share as we get ready for the TC15 retreat in a couple weeks:
The retreat begins with check-in from 4:00pm-5:30pm. If possible, please allow enough time to settle into your room before we gather in the St. Charles Amphitheater (our teaching area) at 5:45pm. 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: Lauren Lindberg, Andy Bilhorn, David Staal, Jeremy Easton, Danilo Bridgens, Norm Nickel, Sue Alvera, Barbara Boatwright, Noelle Babich, Joe Kimmel, Alicia McDowell, Stacy Pfeiffer, Katie Chambers, Beth Cossin, Sue Beadle, David Glass, Ken Mentz, Kirk Bolen, Heather Sims, Nate Wong, Bruce Johnson
Remember to Bring:
- Your Bible, journal and any other spiritual reading God is using in your life right now
- Anything that adds to your comfort: Your own pillow, slippers, a meaningful religious symbol or artifact, etc.
Other: If you are writing papers, please send your written reflections to TC15papers@transformingcenter.org the Friday ahead of the retreat. IMPORTANT: Please make sure to save your document in WORD (not a PDF, pages or within the email) and use the guidelines found in your During the Quarter document.
Extended Stay: If you need to stay additional nights on either side of the retreat you are always welcome to do so for an additional cost (and based on availability). We will have a link in the next week or so, please respond to this email if you would like us to send it to you so you can set this up directly with the Q center.
Don't forget to email your small group and respond to this email if you will be late or absent from this retreat. If you have any questions as you prepare for the upcoming retreat, please email TC15@transformingcenter.org.
We are so looking forward to being with you!
Blessings,
The TC15 team
