Hello Everyone!
I am so excited about where we are having our Ontario Pastors retreat this year! We have been able to secure space at a Retreat Centre overlooking the beauty of Niagara Falls. This is an ideal location as they are giving us an amazing deal and it is closer for our U.S. friends that join us each year.
The dates are Monday March 19 – Wednesday March 21. The first meeting will be on Monday evening but we will start with dinner at 5:30pm. You are welcome to come anytime after 3pm to settle in and take advantage of their 12 acres, wooded areas, open spaces and gardens. The Centre is also a brief walk to the Falls. We will meet together all day Tuesday and then after lunch on Wednesday every one is free to depart.
We will be meeting in the Little Flower room which is located on the 4th floor and has view of the Niagara River. I can’t think of a better place environment to dwell upon the power and majesty of God!
The cost to attend is $250 for a single person or $360 for a married couple. In exchange for this, you are getting 6 meals, 2 nights accommodation, snacks and beverages in the lounge 24 hours a day and fellowship with some of the best people around. This is a little bit more than we paid last year but we are getting more and I have been advised that the food is amazing! The rooms also all have private bathrooms and towels and bed linens are provided.
Please email myself (Nicole Smith) at nsmith@partnersinharvest.org or call me at (647) 729-3849 as soon as possible to let us know whether you are intending to come. Payment will need to be made to Partners in Harvest before the retreat and I must know by March 14 our final numbers, so please DON’T leave it to the last minute to respond.
I hope as many of you as possible will be able to join us this year! Directions are provided below. Let me know if I have missed any details or you have questions. I can’t wait!
Thanks so much,
Nicole Smith
