The 2010 Saint Matthew’s Women’s Retreat is scheduled for October 29-31, 2010. Women of all ages are invited to spend the weekend in the cool pines at Chapel Rock in Prescott, Arizona. We are so excited about this opportunity to get away for relaxation, refreshment and renewal. There will be worship, music, fellowship, presentations, crafts, and great food. It's an opportunity to relax, renew, and refresh before the craziness of the holiday season. The Rev. John Hall will be our presenter and facilitator for this year's retreat. Contact Sheri Smith now for more information or download this information letter.

Registration: A registration form is available here.

• Rooms and roommates: The rooms at Chapel Rock are very much like a motel. Each room has a double bed and a single bed, a table with two chairs, a porch or balcony, and a private bathroom with shower. We will be staying two people to a room. If you would like to request a specific roommate we will try to accommodate you. Please indicate your roommate request on your registration or contact Sheri with your request.

• Schedule: You will need to arrive at Chapel Rock no later than 5:00 p.m on Friday, October 29th. We will be eating dinner, "Dutch treat," at Wildflower Bread Company in the mall in Prescott at 5:30 p.m. Following dinner, we will begin our first group gathering at 7:30 p.m. We will continue all day on Saturday, October 30th, with activities and some relaxation. The retreat will end on Sunday, October 31st, after breakfast and a Eucharist service that morning. If you would like to meet at In-n-Out Burger on the way home for lunch, again "Dutch treat," feel free to do so.

• What to bring: Chapel Rock is a mile high and in the woods. Please wear warm comfortable clothing suitable for the area. Also, make sure to bring sweaters, jackets and appropriate shoes like tennis shoes or hiking boots. You will need to bring all bathroom supplies including soap and shampoo. Bed linens and towels will be provided. Please make sure and bring your Bible, a pen or pencil, and a prayer book if you have one. Please do not bring any electronic entertainment devices such as radios, I-pods, CD players etc. This is a retreat; you really won’t need them. Also, please note that Chapel Rock is a NO SMOKING facility.

This retreat should prove to be a time of reflection, relaxation and spiritual growth for all. We
thank God for the opportunity to gather and grow in His name. We look forward to seeing you in
October.
