 Knowing Him - A Weekend Retreat to Remember
Sixty-eight women gathered together in Lake Geneva last weekend for a time of teaching, testimony, worship and fellowship. God blessed every detail of the weekend as women grew deeper in their knowledge of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit through teaching from Georgia Gann, Samantha Pappageorge, Peggy Fergus and Renee Gerstmayr. Guests were also treated to sweet and powerful testimonies by Julie Kittredge, Barb McDonald and Emilie Schimmel, as well as a special workshop by Monica Friel. Time for reflection, small group sharing, and a good dose of girlfriend time made the weekend extra special. This retreat will long be remembered as a 2012 Women's Ministry highlight.
