Thank you! We’re celebrating an amazing year-end fundraising campaign

Dear Friends of Rolling Ridge,

THANK YOU! In the midst of all life’s challenges and changes, your steadfast support helps Rolling Ridge remain steadfast in its mission. As we wrap up our 2024 year-end fundraising campaign, we are deeply grateful to announce that through your generosity, we've raised $21,200 for our Annual Giving Campaign—doubling our goal of $10,000—with an additional $11,600 dedicated to the Todd Hall Renovation Project. What a blessing!

We believe that Rolling Ridge offers what the world needs: a place of quiet contemplation, spiritual transformation, and warm, inclusive hospitality for all who come through our doors. Your donations have made this vision more vibrant than ever in 2024, and allow us to step into the future with confidence and great joy. Thank you.

When you give, you support the ongoing ministry of the Ridge, putting your funds where it’s needed most. Through your gifts in 2024, we were able to:

Enhance our Property: The newly renovated Rohr Reading Room (formerly Room 3 in the Main House) has become a sanctuary for reflection, study, and meetings, offering a peaceful space where guests and retreatants can deepen their spiritual journey.

Hire Dynamic Staff: We're delighted to welcome Peter Park as our new Director of Food and Hospitality. With his strong business background and deep personal faith, Peter brings fresh perspectives to enhance our guest experience while honoring our commitment to spiritual hospitality.

Expand our Contemplative Programming: Now in its second year, The Listening Collective (TLC), a peer-led organization for Spiritual Directors, exemplifies the power of our community to support, train, and connect those with the vocation of deep listening. This volunteer-led team is leading the way for Rolling Ridge as we seek to become the “go to” space for spiritual direction and contemplative programming in the Merrimack Valley and beyond.

Spiritual Directors from the Listening Collective meet for peer supervision.

As we look ahead to 2025, we remain committed to being faithful stewards of your gifts. Every dollar invested helps maintain and enhance this sacred space where lives are transformed, relationships are deepened, and hope is renewed.

On behalf of our staff and board, THANK YOU for being part of the Rolling Ridge story. Your support ensures that we can continue to offer this vital ministry of hospitality, healing, and hope for generations to come.

Peace and all good,

Rev. Dr. Lawrence Jay,
Executive Director 
Rolling Ridge Retreat and Conference Center

P.S. We're excited to announce some improvements coming in 2025! At the end of this month, we’ll be changing email providers, and then unveiling a brand new website. Please keep an eye out for more announcements in the next few weeks as we prepare to serve our growing Rolling Ridge community better!
