The Easter Vigil is traditionally observed from Good Friday evening until the evening of Holy Saturday. During this time, we will observe a 24-hour prayer vigil. Please consider whether you would like to participate in this vigil for one or more hours, between 8:00 pm on Friday, April 14 and 8:00 pm, Saturday, April 15. If you are unable to be physically present with us at Rolling Ridge, you are still welcome to participate by "keeping watch" during this time. If you do so, please let us know which hour(s) of the day you have set aside for prayer.
There is no registration fee for any of the week's activities. A simple soup and bread meal will be served Friday evening. No meals will be provided the rest of the week, but you are welcome to bring your own provisions. All events will take place at the Retreat House. The Retreat House will be available for retreatants who would like to stay overnight one or more nights during the week.
Please let us know if you will be participating by contacting us at community@rollingridge.net or by calling 304-725-4301.
