Women’s Retreat

EL ROI
“The God Who Sees Me”

Dear Ladies,

In our busy and performance-driven culture, where independence and self-sufficiency are valued, we often feel unseen, unknown, isolated and disconnected.  Relationships are becoming increasingly more fragmented.  Such a different reality than the one Christ prayed for when He asked His Father that we, as God’s children, may be one as He and the Father are One. (see John 17)

On the weekend of March 14-16, 2025, you will have opportunity to come away from the busyness and distractions of life and find rest and nourishment for your hearts.

Our retreat theme is based on one of the Names of God, El Roi: “The God Who Sees Me.”  Our speaker, Cheryl Spaulding, will lead us in exploring the many treasures found in Psalm 139. Cheryl will also lead us in looking at several women in Scripture who struggled with feeling unseen, invisible, abandoned, and rejected, and how being seen and known by God transformed their lives.

Jesus invites us to “come away with Him by ourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.” (Mark 6:31)  We hope you will respond to His invitation and join us in March on retreat!
