2024 WoMen’s Retreat/Seminar
This Year’s Topic
In Exodus 17, when Moses’ hands grew tired, Aaron and Hur held them up, one each side, so that they remained steady until sunset. Have you ever experienced that need to be held up by others—by your people?
Some of us began our Christian walk with the misconception that all we need is God. Or connecting with others in the past ended in hurt, and we are afraid to try again. Our speaker for this weekend, Heather Vaughn will help us explore obstacles to healthy community, and then look at the building blocks to creating a safe God-honoring community.
Let’s prepare to be both challenged and encouraged! And remember—the final deadline to register is Sunday August 4th. Don’t put it off—register today!
