Summer Sabbath 2025

From Monday, August 19 through Monday, September 1, 2025 the Richmond Hill community will take a sabbath rest from the routine of hosting guests.

For two weeks in August, Richmond Hill will slow down to recuperate from the previous program year and to prepare for the season ahead. No group or individual retreats are scheduled for this time.

The exception will be that the regular prayer times will be maintained. The chapel door will open daily at prayer times — 7 am, noon, and 5:30 pm — if you care to join us.

Volunteers, as available during office hours Tuesday – Friday, will continue to make the garden accessible for brief visits.

All regularly scheduled meetings, meals, worship offerings, or day retreats will not occur during that time. Regular office hours will be maintained for staff from 9am -5pm, Monday – Friday.  

If you have any questions about the schedule for those two weeks or have a need during that time, please call (804) 783-7903.

Thank you for your support and understanding as we honor a time for rest and renewal.
