2012 Women's Retreat

On Safari

"Call to Me and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things, fenced in and hidden, which you do not know (do not distinguish and recognize, have knowledge of and understand)." (Jeremiah 33:3 Amplified Bible)

 

Helen Atwood invites you to "Join us as we look for the everyday gifts of God at the
Women's Retreat March 2-4."

We will be celebrating the moment-to-moment graces as we learn to see God in the ordinary ... we will study and share "eucharisteo"... the act of giving thanks... for we "pay tribute to God by paying attention." (Ann Voskamp)

 

Becky Van Valin M.S.W. Saturday Night Keynote Speaker

Becky VanValin

 

Saturday evening Becky VanValin will bring a message to compliment the theme of the book "One Thousand Gifts" ...

 

 

 

 


"One Thousand Gifts" by Ann Voskamp
Book Description:"... In One Thousand Gifts, Ann invites the reader to embrace everyday blessings and embark on the transformative spiritual discipline of chronicling God's gifts. It's only in this expressing of gratitude for the life we already have, we discover the life we've always wanted...a life we can take, give thanks for, and break for others."
