This year, we’re making space for something our hearts so often long for: rest. Rest for our bodies, our minds, and our souls. In the midst of busy schedules, endless to-do lists, and the many demands of everyday life, we want to create an opportunity to slow down, simplify, and be still in the presence of the Lord.
What if, when God promises to be with us always, He really means it? What if He is with you in your car and in your office, in your kitchen and in the hardware store, in your laughing and in your crying? During our retreat, let’s wonder together: how can we wake up more and more with each passing day to the wonder and solace of “God-with-us”? Let’s explore simple waking-up practices that can easily become part of our day-to-day rhythms. The more we practice, the more we will be saying, as Abraham did thousands of years ago, “Surely God is in this place, and I was not aware of it!”
With a simpler schedule and fewer planned activities, our hope is to create a peaceful space where each woman can truly rest, reconnect with the Lord, and enjoy meaningful fellowship with one another. Rather than rushing from one thing to the next, we want to make room to breathe, listen, reflect, and simply be with Him.
We are delighted to welcome Elizabeth Fitch as our speaker! Some of you may remember Elizabeth from our 2018 retreat when she taught us about spiritual disciplines. We are so grateful she will be joining us again to help usher us into the Lord’s presence and encourage us in our walk with Him.
Whether you come feeling weary and in need of renewal or simply longing for time away with the Lord and other women of Grace, we hope you’ll join us for this special weekend.
Registration and deposit collection will be available on November 1, 8, and 15. All retreat registrations will be through Church Center beginning Friday, October 30. And for added convenience, you can pay for the retreat directly through Church Center this year, too!
If you prefer to pay by cash or check (payable to Grace Anglican), please bring your payment to a retreat team member at the front of the sanctuary after either Sunday service on Nov. 1, 8 or 15.
If you have any questions, email Jordan Ware.
