Dear Ladies
We have another wonderful opportunity to enjoy a weekend away from our daily life and spend time together in the peaceful environment at El Rancho in an atmosphere of love and caring with our sisters in Christ.
Many will remember the special time we had three years ago at our first retreat and how rewarding and encouraging it was during that weekend together learning about God's grace in our lives. This time we will look at what it means to have a "pure heart" and how God's heart is manifested in us.
We very much look forward to having our guest speakers, Ruth Matthews and Anne Stevens with us and listening to their presentations.
We do hope that you will be able to attend. Please invite your family and friends as well. We will pray and worship together, listen to inspiring speakers, have quiet times, and yes, talk and share to our heart's content!
As the weeks go by and we get closer to the retreat we are very aware that we need God's guidance in all our planning. Please pray that all will be done to His glory and that our theme of "Blessed are the Pure in Heart" will inspire us to be what we have been called to be.
We are looking forward to a really special weekend of fun and fellowship and returning home spiritually rejuvenated.
May God bless you all.
