Women’s Retreat 2013
The theme for our annual women’s retreat was: Salt and Light. We had an amazing time. God is so good!
Craft Time
We always like to have a craft time at the retreat where the ladies make something to remind them of what God was speaking to their hearts. We cannot tell you how many times we have gone to visit a lady (years after she attended a retreat) to see her craft still displayed at her house. It totally blesses our hearts!

Very interesting place that we found which is for sale. Could it be door number three? Only time will tell.
