A Time to Pray, Reflect, and Renew

It is once again time to begin thinking about, planning for, and praying in expectation for our Annual Ministerial Prayer Retreat at the beautiful mountaintop St. Mary’s Retreat Center in Sewanee, TN. The Ayers Center for Spiritual Development is located in one of the most breathtaking settings in our region, and we are excited to see what the Lord has in store for us this February.

Retreat Schedule

• Official Retreat Times
  Monday at 1:00 PM through Tuesday at Noon
• Optional Early Arrival
  Participants may choose to arrive Sunday evening for additional time of prayer and reflection at their own discretion.
  • No additional meals will be provided on Sunday
  • Rooms and meeting spaces will be available

Prayer Walk

For the second year, we will offer a Prayer Walk as part of the retreat experience. Participation is optional and may be completed on your own time and at your own pace. We believe this will be a meaningful and spiritually enriching opportunity for those who choose to participate.

We look forward to gathering together for prayer, rest, and renewal in God’s presence.
