First Love Fall Retreat (Paid by CHECK)
Fall Retreat Theme: "The Better Part"
The Master said, “Martha, dear Martha, you’re fussing far too much and getting yourself worked up over nothing. One thing only is essential. Mary has chosen the better part and it won’t be taken from her.” -Luke 10:42
👉 Join a gathering of like-hearted women for plentiful time for you and God alone as well as shared times of community together…
Perhaps you’re seeking….
To find what you long for but regular life keeps beyond your grasp.
No to-do list to pull you away. No Projects. No bustling agenda.
Time, finally time.. to sit at His feet.
An opportunity to deepen your relationship with Him through:
New practices of prayer
Time in His word
Time to follow the Spirit’s leading to read, rest, pray, walk, journal.. worship.
Time to savor Him through His gift of nature
