About the Spiritual Life Retreat
The Spiritual Life Retreat is an opportunity for all women in the Province to gather for spiritual renewal and fellowship. The goal for the retreat is for participants to leave the weekend rested, renewed in her faith journey, and with new friends in our sisterhood.
Check–in begins at 5:00 pm on Friday evening with a dinner reception in the Gallery. The program will begin at 7:00 pm.
On Saturday morning breakfast will be served at 8:00 am. We will meet for devotions at 9:00 am to start the day in a relaxing atmosphere for spiritual renewal and growth.
We will conclude our time together Sunday morning with worship and communion followed by brunch and a parting blessing.
Ladies are encouraged to wear casual clothing and comfortable shoes. In addition to your Bible, bring any type of musical instrument- if you can blow it, pluck it or bang it then bring it and we will play it at the retreat.
