Even though there are a lot of activities going on in Twin Cities Cursillo between now and then, it’s not too early to be thinking ahead to the 2016 Winter Retreat. Mostly because there are a few “little wrinkles” in our schedule for January 2016.

Traditionally we have always arrived on Friday evening after the dinner hour and begun our program around 7 PM. However, this year Friday is the New Year’s Day Holiday. Because King’s House has many annual returning groups like ours, moving the weekend was not an option.

We now know more details to the two main changes to the tradi onal schedule. We will still be able to arrive at King’s House on Friday evening. However, respecting that it is a holiday and people may have other plans, we will not start the formal retreat schedule that evening. Instead we will have an Ultreya that evening and I invite anyone and everyone to think and pray about being the speaker for that evening.

The formal retreat schedule will start on Saturday morning with registration for the Saturday arrivals at 6:30 AM, breakfast at 7:30, an opening prayer service at 8:00, and gathering for the first conference at 9:00. All of the elements of this retreat that we have enjoyed over the years will be in the schedule.

The fee this year is $155 per person and will be the same for everyone regardless of individual arrival times. Scholarships are available to cover the cost. We want everyone to attend who wishes to. Contact Justine Bojan at 952-250-2398.

So come Friday night if you can. Come Saturday morning if you need to. Just come.

In spite of these changes, what won’t change is the fine leadership and guidance of the staff at King’s House.

You will be able to register and pay on line by clicking here, or you can register in the traditional method by mailing a $20 deposit check made out to;

Please get in touch with me at 612-803-5220 if you would be willing to speak at the Ultreya or if you have any questions or concerns.

The Peace of Christ to you all,
