Mini-Retreats for Women! Because, Everyone Loves a Good Story!
Join us for our next Mini-Retreat for Women! This year, we are enjoying and learning from the stories found in Holy Scripture and finding the love story God has inserted to captivate your heart and set it on fire.
Each month we will enjoy a mediation and a practical talk, highlighting major events and stories from scripture. Throughout the program, we will provide helpful advice that will reveal the amazing "library" of the Bible, with many different genre's, and how to read each book in different ways.
Helpful Materials
The series will be based on the book: Walking with God: A Journey through the Bible by Tim Gray and Jeff Cavins. We encourage you to obtain a copy of this book to assist you as we walk this journey together.
