Chapel Rock to Host
“Christmas in the Pines”
Chapel Rock, the Episcopal Camp and Conference Center in Prescott, invites everyone to “Christmas in the Pines,” an Advent retreat for individuals and families scheduled for December 2-4, 2011.Both adults and children will enjoy learning new ways to prepare for the celebration of Jesus’ birth among the pines and boulders of Chapel Rock. There will also be time devoted to relaxation and fellowship. On Saturday night, we will trek to downtown Prescott to take part in the Courthouse Lighting festivities. From local school children singing carols on the Courthouse steps to the retelling of the Christmas story, it is a scene right out of a Frank Capra movie. The grand finale takes place when all of the lights come on at once, heralding the beginning of the holiday season in “Arizona’s Christmas City!”
Both hotel style and bunk house lodgings are available, and special rates are in effect so that as many folks can come as possible. Registration materials, including descriptions of the lodging options and fees are available on the Chapel Rock website, www.chapelrock.net. All lodging will be assigned on a first come, first served basis.
Please join us to make this a new holiday tradition in your family! You can call Chapel Rock toll free at 877-445-3499 for more information.
