The 2010 Saint Matthew’s Women’s Retreat was held October 29-31, 2010, in the cool pines at Chapel Rock in Prescott, Arizona. Worship, music, fellowship, presentations, crafts, and great food marked the event. We are already planning the 2011 Retreat. Check back here for more information.

Some information about our retreats that might interest you:

• 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 book two people to a room. If you would like to request a specific roommate we will try to accommodate you.

• Schedule: We usually arrive at Chapel Rock no later than 5:00 p.m on Friday, and eat dinner together, "Dutch treat." Following dinner, we have our first gathering. We will continue all day on Saturday with activities and some relaxation. The retreat usually ends on Sunday after breakfast and a Eucharist service.

• About the Conference Center: 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.

Our retreat is always 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 next time!
