"Emptying Your Cup" Retreat

"Emptying Your Cup" Women's Retreat
Twenty-eight women brought empty mugs and cups to a May 13th retreat at St. Margaret Mary.The retreat was sponsored by Women’s Ministry and presented by Bonnie Chester, Lisa Stumler and Mistianna Barnes. During the three hour evening retreat, after a delicious dinner was served, the women's cups were filled to symbolize the positive blessings and love we accept from God. Reflective journals were filled out and discussions, prayers and songs followed. Later the cups were emptied, symbolizing the "letting go" by the women of the negatives in their lives. The women were uplifted and energized with fellowship and the love of God.
