2009 WEEKLY SCHEDULE OF EVENTS
From June 26, 2009 through Labor Day (Updated 6-23)
Every Day
7am: Morning Watch - Start the day at the beautiful outdoor chapel overlooking the
pond for a time of quiet reflection. Join Holly for Lectio Divina or Imaginative Prayer.
7am-dusk: Boating. A fleet of row boats and canoes are available to use every day.
The lake is ideal to explore by boat. Go fishing early in the morning or at dusk....the
lake has bass, catfish, and perch. We provide a life vest for each boater.
1pm-5pm: Swimming. A sandy beach leads to the spring-fed waters of our pond. The
swim area is roped off with a shallow area for beginners and a deeper area with a
loating dock for more advanced swimmers. Using a float in the deep end is ideal for
catching some rays. Lifeguard is on duty during swim time.
