Afterglow

What a great weekend we had! Our retreat was an amazing time. It was such a blast to gather together in that glorious setting and spend that time together. We laughed, we cried, we ate and ate, and ate, laughed some more, cried some more, played, created, learned, shared....it was really wonderful. What a joy to see women of all ages there, from high school girls up through aged 60+. And it really did feel like we were ONE.

Our theme for the retreat was "Courageous Hearts", and this theme was a constant thread through the whole weekend, not just in what our speakers shared (awesome!), but also as it was displayed in women making new friends, plunging into the frigid waters of Lake Tahoe for baptism, trying out a new art form and more.

I'm so thankful for each woman who came and also for each of the 28 or so women who had some role in making the retreat what it was - from the planning team, to the prayer team, to the snack people, tech people, worship team, multimedia, art room people, registration team, photographer, speakers, drama team, ice breaker person and more...so many women helped out. Thank you, thank you!

I've already booked next year's retreat - put it on your calendar - same place, April 29-May 1. Hope you'll join us!
