One of the favorite small groups is our annual get away, The Women’s Retreat. Once a year any lady from the church, ages 19 and up are invited to attend a spiritual weekend get away. We travel to Lewisburg, Pa. to the Country Cupboard Inn on Friday and check out on Sunday morning to come home. In between time there are sessions, where we share our lives with each other. We share Jesus through music and scripture. Pastor Julie leads us on a spiritual journey and encourages us to share what is on our hearts at that time. We also include crafts and time for ourselves. Lots of fun around the pool! After our evening sessions we usually gather around the outdoor pool, just to have a lot of laughs and fun. We come away from this weekend refreshed and renewed. Close relationships have developed between the ladies of this group. We would love to have you join us.
We try to raise most of our money to go each year. We have fund raisers, such as soup and bake sales, but our most popular and our most famous fund raiser is our Homemade Easter Eggs. We try to start a couple of months before Easter and work at least 2 days a week making these very popular eggs. Last year we made and sold around 529 dozen eggs. This was more than enough to pay our ladies way plus have money left over to donate to the church fuel fund.
If you are interested in going along on our annual retreat, it only cost you $35.00 to register (this money is non-refundable). Then if you help make or sell eggs the rest of your way is paid for. If you choose not to be involved in the fund raising process, you can pay your entire way, which would be around $200.00.
If you want to be a part of this fun time, either making eggs (because we have lots of giggles doing them) or going along to experience the enjoyment of the retreat, please see Carol Watts or contact her at 542-4639.
