Guest Comments

Thank you again for another wonderful retreat. It was so good to be here and have time to read, relax and reflect. From a mother of a person with special needs, who likes to come monthly for a day or two.

Thanks for the wonderful hospitality I experienced at the Cedars. It means the world to me. From a Presbyterian minister who drops in daily for a time of prayer in our chapel.

I feel God is inviting me to really dwell on being “beloved” and to make more regular space for solitude with God both for listening and for praying in boldness and expectation to see his kingdom come. From a local Chaplain.
