WBC Women's Retreat




Our ladies ministry is called WOW ( Women of Worth). On Aug 21st weekend, WOW had their 1st annual weekend retreat. I say 1st because no one can remember when the last retreat was held but do remember hearing there was one years ago?

I found the perfect place to have this weekend. It was at Orchard Glory Farm Resort in Bindoon, WA. You can look it up on the web to see photos. It was beautiful and the ladies felt pampered to stay in such nice/clean facilities.

Some of us during free time Sat. afternoon took a 1/2 ride north to a little town called New Norcia. It has a monestary with 5 monks still living there. We took a tour of the town. You can google New Norcia in WA too to see and read about this historical town. The ride there was worth just viewing the canola fields in full bloom. I will post a photo!

I had the privilege to organize this retreat for 55 ladies. We had a wonderful speaker who challenged us to "Walk more intimately with God".

After reading over the survey's filled out at the end of the weekend, the comments were all positive. The ladies were blessed, refreshed & challenged and look forward to next year's retreat to be held late September. So, if anyone is interested in attending that retreat, start booking your flights soon!

Praise God for my neighbor, Marrianne, attending the weekend and 2 others that are not Christians. Seeds of God's Love for them were planted.

Also, my mom arrived 2 days prior to the weekend and I was blessed to have my mom share this special time with me.

Thank you for praying for this special weekend. God worked in mighty ways!
