WOMEN’S RETREAT
Sept 24 – 26, 2021
Ross Point Camp, Post Falls, ID
Welcome to the Best. Weekend. Ever!
Without a doubt it will be the best weekend you’ve had in over a year (remember 2020?) Our hope is that every woman who attends retreat walks away absolutely encouraged and committed to her relationship with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. This is time away from the chaos of everyday life, where we can be refreshed by the word of God and grounded in the foundation of our faith – Jesus.
During retreat, we will hear encouraging talks from guest speaker Sue Sanders. She’ll share her personal testimony and lead us through a series we’re calling “review, renew, and repeat.” Review, we’ll go over what God has done in the past. Renew, our personal response to God’s work. Repeat, how we can daily remember what God has done and renew our commitment to him. After the talks, we will join in small groups, where we will get to know one another and dive deeper into the Word of God.
While at Ross Point Camp, there will be free time for outdoor recreation, shopping, specialty workshops, or napping. We’re going to stay up past our bedtimes, laugh till we cry, and have fun. We hope you’ll join us! It’s going to be the Best. Weekend. Ever.
