Away from the Crowd Women's Prayer Gathering

This year’s Annual Women’s Away from the Crowd Prayer Day Retreat at Kingsfold Retreat Centre will be held on Tuesday, August 26 from 9am to 5:30pm.

We invite Cochrane Alliance Church Ladies to come quiet their hearts and minds and set their eyes on Jesus, having time alone first with the Lord at Kingsfold Retreat Centre before the business of the new ministry and school year begins.
 
DATE:   Tuesday, August 26

TIME:    9:00am - 5:30pm

LOCATION:   Kingsfold Retreat Centre (located about 40 minutes from Cochrane along route 40 just past Waiparous)
 
COST:   $65 (covers the day retreat and all day access to a generous snack bar as well as a full supper at 4:00pm)

TRANSPORTATION: Carpooling from and back to the church is available.

WHAT THE DATE WILL LOOK LIKE:

For each of us, this day may hold something different but we share one intention: to spend time alone with God—away from the crowding of commitments, distractions, and even our favorite things that compete for our attention. It's a time to reset our focus on Jesus as we prepare to step into a new year.

8:20am  Meet in Cochrane Alliance parking lot to carpool

8:30pm  Depart from Cochrane Alliance parking lot for Kingsfold Retreat Centre 

9:00am  Arrive at Kingsfold Retreat Centre 

After a brief orientation, upon arrival, we’ll spend some time in worship and share a few thoughts in the chapel before being released to spend the day alone with God. Kingsfold offers so many indoor and outdoor sacred and inspirational and quiet spaces for you to wander or sit to meditate on his Word and goodness, commune with Him through prayer or rest or adventure in His presence.  

4:00pm  Supper together

Then we’ll gather again for supper and fellowship at 4 pm, meet once again more formally for sharing some closing thoughts before departing for home. 

5:00pm  Departure from Kingsfold Retreat Centre

REGISTRATION:

If you’d like to come, please register by Tuesday, August 12 at noon. Register early because Kingfold can only accommodate a maximum of 24 participants. 

Note: You are responsible for your own breakfast before we leave Cochrane that morning. We won’t be having a formal mid-day meal, but Kingsfold’s snack bar offers a wide selection of healthy and tasty treats that will be available to you throughout the day.
