What to Expect

In a world that never stops talking, we’re choosing to be still. Join us for a 36-hour silent retreat to unplug, recalibrate, and make room for God in the quiet.

Sacred Silence

We’ll begin Friday night with a devotional and enter into a 36-hour vow of silence, ending Sunday morning with worship. This is a shared commitment to slow down, listen, and create intentional space for God.

Unplug + Reset

There will be a designated place to store phones (we won’t collect them, but we strongly encourage you to put yours away). This weekend is a hard reset—stepping away from constant noise & distraction so your mind and heart can recalibrate.

Quiet Rhythms on Saturday

Saturday is intentionally unhurried. We’ll provide Scripture prompts, reflection guides, puzzles, quiet games, coloring books, and simple activities that feel almost old-fashioned in the best way. Bring a book (not homework) and let yourself rest.

Worship & Celebration

Sunday morning we’ll break the silence with worship and a short service together. Afterward, we’ll lean back into laughter and community with a fun group activity in Broken Bow before heading home Monday refreshed.
