SUMMARY:Women's Retreat
DESCRIPTION:First Church Women’s Retreat- Friday\, November 13th and Saturday November 14th\nSpiritual Identity: Finding Deeper Connection with God through Identity and Spiritual Practice\n\nDo you find yourself longing for a deeper spiritual life in the days between Sundays? Do you feel that you don’t have any time to squeeze more into your daily life? Are you bored with the spiritual practices that you currently employ? Do you find that you are in a different stage of life\, and what you used to practice no longer resonates for you? This retreat is open to any woman who can relate to any or all of these questions. We will use our understanding of our true selves\, and the stage of life we are in\, to help us discern what spiritual practices will have the most meaning for us\, and how we can work these practices into our daily lives.\n\nCheck-in begins at 4pm and dinner at 6:15pm. Please arrive when you can with programming to begin at 7:30pm.\n\nCost: $180 (meals\, housing\, and supplies).
