Greetings!

Thanksgiving offers a chance to reflect on the many blessings our God provides us.  Your sisters in Christ on the retreat committee  offer you our wishes for a Happy Thanksgiving.  Whatever your circumstances, may the grace and mercy God grants us through his saving Word, our Savior, Jesus, always rank first on the list!
     Today's Christian Women's Retreat
                 Celebrates 15 Years!
 
Phil and VickiRetreat 2009 marks our 15th birthday! 
What a blessing to think about the over 7,000 registrations 
we've received over those years!  We're excited about the speakers and program being planned to celebrate this special year.  It is our prayer that you will be spiritually uplifted  during this time together as we gather around the Word.  Come and refresh your spiritual batteries by digging into God's Word! 
 
We look forward to seeing you in Lansing!

 
Paper and online registration will be opening earlier this year than in previous years, due to our March retreat dates.  Look for an email with news about online registration being open in the near future! 
 
Many women have shared that they ask for their retreat registration as a Christmas gift!  What a great idea for yourself, or any of your female loved ones!
Hotel reservation notes for online registration
 
Sheraton poolKeeping your credit card numbers safe is a major concern for online users.  Last year, the Radisson called Room Captains for a credit card number to hold your room.  This year the Sheraton has created a reservation form that Room Captains will download and either fax or put in the mail to reserve a room.  You'll find the form  online during the registration process.
 
Paper registrations will use the same directions they have in the past.


Early Bird Registration Rate: $125.00
Regular Registration Rate $130.00
Late Registration Rate $160.00
Don't forget to log onto your retreat profile.  Use the link at the bottom of this email.  You'll find our special way to say thank you when you do! 
 
Sincerely,

Retreat 2009 
March 13-15, 2009
 
In a day and age of change, tolerance and lack of absolutes, we cherish these words. There is no other source of truth and comfort needed. Our Savior has the words of eternal life! Join us, as we dig into the truths of this biblical nugget while basking and luxuriating in the glow and comfort that only God's Word can provide.
