YWR Retreat Feb. 2-3;
Speaker: Karen Lippert
Registration deadline for the Young Women's Retreat Feb. 2-3 at the Fox Hills Resort was Jan. 1. The committee will work to accommodate late registrants if rooms are available, but the cost will be at regular resort prices and include tax.
Check-in registration at Fox Hills is from 5-7 p.m. Welcoming songs begin at 6 p.m., and the retreat will open at 7 p.m.
As PR Chairman Paula Duvenek says, "Those of us who register for the Young Women's retreat have something wonderful to look forward to. Each participant will enjoy spending time with friends, studying the Lord's Word, singing and praying in a large group, getting some exercise and generally decompressing from our busy lives.
"I think the best thing about a retreat is that you simply register, pack an overnight bag, and show up. Great - a mini vacation! Yes, take a vacation from your regular life and worries and give them to the Lord!
"Set aside this time to cultivate the most important relationship in your life - that with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We will gain a better understanding of our growoing faith, new friends and perhaps even a prayer partners."
Plus: attendees will be inspired by
--Keynote speaker Karen Lippert, who will explore our "Tree-mendous Life" from a Biblical perspective.
