Women’s Retreat

Ladies, plan to attend our Women's Retreat at Rosario the weekend of January 24-26. Our new speaker, Becky Curtis, will be presenting, Drinking in the Desert: Revitalizing Your Spiritual Experience in a Dry and Weary Land. Register using the form in the lobby or online.
Retreat Description:
“Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.” Matthew 28:11 The Message

Sometimes our devotional lives can grow cold and routine and lose the vibrant experience we long for. Maybe we feel like we don’t have time for true intimacy with God. We might put aside time for God each day, but find ourselves distracted by our to-do list, social media or even a lack of knowing where to start.

Drawing from the life-altering experience of a rollover auto accident Becky Curtis will guide us on the journey from dry desolation to renewed vision and vitality. No matter where you are on your journey you will find new hope and a fresh experience with Christ as we share this experience together in a series entitled: Drinking in the Desert: Revitalizing Your Spiritual Experience in a Dry and Weary Land.
