Women's Retreat
February 17-19, 2012
The Cup of Life
Life is often compared to a cup. Some are half full, others half empty. Some cups are a little cracked, some almost shattered. A few cups are striking in their beauty while others bring comfort by their simplicity. Come join us for the Women's Retreat where we will use this metaphor of a cup for examining how God is at work in our lives. So grab your favorite cup or mug and join us for a weekend of prayer, small group sharing, liturgy and lots of laughter!
$110 per person, double occupancy, $150 single occupancy
All rooms have a sink; community shower is available on the hall.
Please let us know ahead of time if you have mobility needs. We have limited space on the ground floor.

Includes retreat program, book "Growing in the Virtues of Jesus," meals, and accommodations.

QUARTERLY DONOR - John Aguillard
It is always a good time to show your support of Tecaboca financially. Roughly one fifth of our operating budget comes from donations by individuals and grants. If everyone who crossed the waters of Johnson Creek in a year gave an additonal $20, this money would be raised. If many contribute, a relatively small amount makes a big difference in meeting the mission of Tecaboca to bring God's voice to His people. Donate online http://www.tecaboca.com/Donations.html, or by sending a check to 5045 Junction Highway, Mountain Home, TX 78058. |
