Women's Retreat

Through the "Ministry of Mothers Sharing", Bonnie Chester and Becky Bahr-Finley presented a women's ministry retreat and dinner July 30th on choice-making to a group of twenty women. The three-hour retreat in making healthy, Christ-centered choices covered ideas on slowing down, turning to God and learning how to listen to Christ. The participating women ate, prayed together, reflected in small groups and wrote in personal journals. Throughout the evening, books and reference materials were shared, along with ideas on how to start mindful meditation and how to seek further spirtiual direction. The group came away uplifted and refreshed in the Holy Spirit, aided in their goal of making good choices in their daily lives.

When we closed the evening with the song, In This Very Room, I truly felt the Holy Spirit's presence. I loved being with such beautiful, faith-filled women!
