Almost every time we go to visit family in Saskatchewan, we drive down to the Qu’Appelle Valley, about an hours drive east of Regina, to stay at the Qu’Appelle House of Prayer, just outside of Fort Qu’Appelle. The simple cabins and dining room offer a place of silence and solitude. The small community, living this way of life, have chosen, in turn, to offer hospitality to guests, who wish to share in this way of life for a short time. They offer the gift of presence and space, both sacred and safe, to any and to all. In part, the concept for the Qu'Appelle House of Prayer came about as a response to people's needs and longings for solitude and prayer. The chapel is beautiful with its expansive view of the valley and the lake. All people are truly welcome as guests and are invited to participate in the prayers and rituals.
From its earliest beginnings, the House of Prayer sought to make real, in a very modest way, the vision and dream of Isaiah 56:7: "These I will bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer ... for my house shall be called a House of Prayer for all peoples."
