Upcoming:

ThirdPlace Prayer Retreat, This Saturday, June 13th at 8:30am-12:30pm at Harvest Fields:
With guest facilitators Denny & Gloria Rhule, the prayer retreat will be a unified time of corporate prayer and worship combined with solitude and time for reflection and connecting with God!

We'll join together in prayer that morning in the Log Room at Harvest Fields for a time of worship and corporate prayer from 8:30am-9:30am. Then we will break off for a time of reflection and solitude and you can go wherever you want (indoors or outdoors) and find some time to pray, journal, paint, sing...whatever you prefer! (9:30am-11:00am). We will come together then at 11:00am in the Log Room for a time of sharing, corporate worship and prayer. There will be some prayer guides made available to help better guide your time alone; feel free to use them or do your own thing. Bring whatever supplies you’ll need (journal, paints, music, etc) and join us for an exciting time to “unite in prayer” for the World, our community, and each other!

Don’t miss this opportunity, it’s a great way to connect with God and others! Breakfast, coffee, and tea will be provided :) Please RSVP to Lois at lois@calvarysc.org.

Also, we are putting together a selection of writings, blog entries, poems, songs, reflections, etc. written by various people in ThirdPlace to include in the Prayer Guides under “Thoughts & Reflections”....we really believe that we’re all gifted in various ways and can really learn so much from each other. So please share with us, it’s such a blessing...we would love to include your thoughts and reflections!!! Please send that to Lois at lois@calvarysc.org by Wednesday, June 10th.
