Patrick Chappel of Otter Creek Church is again hosting a silent retreat that is open to all. This time of solitude and silence will be at the beautiful St. Mary’s Sewanee Retreat Center near Sewanee, Tennessee. It is a guided time of retreat that will include presentations by Dr. Jackie Halstead throughout the weekend to help facilitate the time with God.

Come join us for this time away to breathe and reorient our lives on Christ and what he is doing in this world. We need time to be fed and to allow our souls to catch up as we live the frantic pace of our lives.
