Are you about ready for some down time? About this time in the Winter I find I need a respite—a break from the normal routine.
You will recall that Jesus frequently “got away“ with his disciples. They needed time away from the pressures of the crowds and the fatigue of ministry to spend time talking and resting and finding the strength that comes through fellowship. Our weekend getaway will be number 29 for us, and I continue to host these because I see how God uses them to truly give new direction, to heal wounds, to comfort hearts—so much good is accomplished. There’s something about getting away that makes a difference.
Maybe you’ve never attended this kind of conference, and you’re not sure whether it’s right for you or not. Let me share what one woman wrote after last year’s conference:
“This weekend was so unique. The speakers really opened their hearts and shared their weaknesses. They allowed themselves to be vulnerable. All the other conferences have been like this, too, but this year seemed very special. Each year is even better than the previous year, and they are all special and done with such excellence.”
This year our theme is Unshakable Peace, and I’ve invited a good friend, Alicia Williamson, to share God’s truth with us. She has a wonderful gift of teaching God’s Word in easy-to-understand ways. You’ll love her, I promise.
There’s lots of takeaway from these weekends that really help women live out their faith on their jobs and everywhere else. And the musicians are not only wonderfully talented, their purpose is to lift our hearts in praise—and we do that all weekend. And you can even be a part of a gospel choir on Saturday evening of the retreat—it’s always one of the highlights of the weekend.
Here’s the thing: if you register by March 1, you’ll save $25. That’s a good discount, so make your plans now to join us April 21 – 23. We meet in a lovely hotel in the Chicago suburbs, the accommodations are luxurious and the food is delicious. You’ll enjoy the ambiance, but most importantly, you’ll be blessed by the fellowship and the spiritual food that you’ll receive.
