What an amazing time the retreat was. God provided, met us, loved us, through this most precious weekend.
Trader Joe's supplied flowers for our tables. Norma and Jan lovingly filled jars for each table.
Donna prepared wonderful gift bags for each lady...that of course included chocolate and tissues.
Beautiful Donna finishing up last minute stuff.
Our meeting room, with crayons on tables for coloring Friday night.
Precious, precious Tina, who prepared the facilities and cooked our fabulous meals. She will say it was all God, and yes he provided, but used her hands, feet, and heart.
Lizzy...
more fabulous women
and more
and more, 47 in all...
visual journaling supplies
we came away refreshed, met, loved, and with deeper community among each other.
Thank you Jesus!!!
Thank you all for praying.
Grace and Peace

Oh thank you for sharing...what a joy, I can just see it on everyone's face. You have shared your God given talent with others. I wish I could have attended. So nice to see God's faithfulness.

I'm so glad those women got to pull up a chair

I sure would have loved to been there too, and would love to see more...I can just imagine the excitement each woman felt as they felt God's love with every word through you my precious sister...I'm so very proud of how share your God filled heart with others...(((hugs)))
thanks sis, and everyone else...but i did not really do very much but bring all the supplies. most of these precious women have been to my workshops and knew what to do...and we had a wonderful little booklet that our pastor put together for us to use. there were many on this team that pulled it all together, and i got to tell you that all the wonderfulness that came from the weekend was God...
What an amazing time! Everything looks fantastic! So glad it was a special group. And I love how you said the wonderfulness that came from the weekend was God. Exactly! :)
So AWESOME Mary! It's so special how God is using you and pulled this entire retreat together using others to help you. I love those table chairs and tablecloths! So much smiling and love going on through these photos. You must be on the top of the world with how God used you here.
Big hugs Mary!

Hi Mary! Everything looks wonderful - wish I could have shared that weekend with y'all. Thought I left a comment before but maybe it didn't go through...just wanna let you know I'd been here:-) Awesome retreat!
Mary I would like to brainstorm with you of a somewhat similiar idea over in my area. Looks like you all had a great time.
