Calling all men of Holy Cross to come and join us for our annual retreat again in 2025.  The important details are that this will take place January 31 to February 1, 2025 at the Guelph Bible Conference Centre. We will have the honour of Dr. Reed Lessing leading us through this weekend. Please email, call or text Jon Watson or contact the church office (office@holycrosskitchener.org - 519 742-5812) or sign up in the narthex by January 20, 2025 to confirm if you would like to come just for the day on Saturday or if you would like to have overnight accommodations reserved for you.

On Friday night there will be snacks plus on Saturday breakfast, lunch, and snacks provided.  The costs to attend including taxes, which will include a small book on Jeremiah written by Dr. Lessing, is as follows:

 Saturday only (also would include Friday night devotion and fellowship time): $75

Stay overnight – general accommodations / dorm: $145

Stay overnight – private room: $200

We have a limited number of private rooms available on a first come first served basis. The alternative is to bunk up with several others. It was a great time and an excellent turn out last year. Please help make this happen again!
