Summer 2025 Offerings

Updated on

You’re Invited to a Summer of Rest and Renewal at Richmond Hill

Take a step away from the noise.

Whether you’re seeking stillness, inspiration, or simply a change of pace, Richmond Hill offers a place to breathe deeply, rest fully, reconnect, and be restored.

Come alone, bring a friend, or gather with a group.   All are welcome to find rest and renewal here.

  • On Tuesdays this Summer, our weekly 5:30pm gatherings will explore different ways of praying – from journaling to Taizé chants to soaking/healing prayer to music to art.  View a tentative schedule listing the different prayer focus each week. The prayer service is followed by an invitation to share a meal together at 6:30pm.  Our garden hours are extended on Tuesdays until 8pm.  Come any week for as much or as little of the time as you desire.  
  • *NEW* Join us any Thursday in July for a tour of Richmond Hill. Tours go from 10:30am – noon and include the garden, labyrinth, historic monastery, and the Dwelling of Enslaved Africans. Learn more.
  • Every Thursday provides a good day to explore the beauty of nature in our garden or the prayer soaked walls of this historic monastery.  Come morning or afternoon and plan to join us for prayer at noon and community lunch at 12:15p.
  • On the First Friday of each month, we offer a silent retreat that begins and ends with the group gathering for centering prayer. Register now for June 6, July 11, or August 1.
  • Weekends are a good time to get away for a 24-hr overnight retreat, though we welcome you for such a stay any day, Tuesday – Sunday.  Contact Rev. Tom Baynham to schedule an overnight retreat (or a day retreat outside the opportunities listed above).
  • Other one-time offerings can be found on our events page.

Let this summer be the season you give yourself the gift of rest.  

We can’t wait to welcome you.
