Rickey and Anna Cotton are leading a prayer retreat July 24-26 at Holy Name Monastery in St Leo, Florida.  

The retreat will feature contemplative prayer periods together, individual silent time, contemplative teaching, and rich spiritual fellowship.

While the limited reservations for this retreat are already taken, Rickey and Anna are considering one more retreat this year -- late fall or maybe Advent.  If you would be interested please let Rickey know at church or contact Anna at acpoet@aol.com or cell 863-797-6834.
