"That is why we never give up. our spirit is being renewed everyday" 2 Cor. 4:16 (LT)
Most women in our Churches and communities are investors – they invest time and energy in their families and homes, their communities and their work. Women often sacrifice their own needs for the needs of others. Retreat provides an opportunity for women to relax in a tailored setting. There is something about taking time away in an atmosphere that stimulates people to listen, rest, talk and feel refreshed. This kind of experience can be therapeutic for tired bodies and frazzled nerves. The retreat setting means getting away from the everyday routine, and having the opportunity for uninterrupted fellowship. These elements make a retreat a unique time for relaxation, inspiration, learning and just having fun with friends and family.
Please remember allocation will be made on a 'FIRST COME FIRST SERVED' basis; it is essential therefore that you BOOK EARLY!
Our times of fellowship are uplifting and inspiring and you will return home with a deeper understanding of yourself and others because the issues and concerns of women are our priority. We do not retreat because we are afraid; we retreat to gain added strength so that we can continue to CONQUER and impact the lives of others.
If you have never attended one of our retreats why not sign up this year. You will be surprised and will not want to miss another one!
One of the highlights of our weekend will be our banquet which will be held on the Saturday evening.
We have obtained excellent facilities, so join us for what we believe will be another all inspiring Retreat to Conquer.
