Our theme for the weekend is Follow Me. And our hope is to find rest and renewal and also to challenge ourselves to follow Jesus actively in our everyday lives. We will be led in three sessions by Colleen O’Gorman and Sam Postma. Sam works at New Life as the tech director and associate of faith formation. Colleen attends Central Heights, and has served as a speaker at various events over the years. She is passionate about helping women dig deeper into being shaped by identity in Christ.
All women are welcome, no matter what church you attend. The cost will be $190. This includes two nights at Stillwood, all the meals and some goodies that we are preparing for you!
You can pay with cash or cheque in person, or etransfer to giving@newlifecrc.ca and write Women’s Retreat in the memo line.
If finances are a factor for you in whether you can attend or not, please do no hesitate to reach out as we do not want that to be the reason you can’t come.
