Indiana United Methodist Women Spiritual Growth Retreat
PLAY AS PRAYER: Living Sacramentally
|
|
May 16-17, 2014
Don Hall's Guesthouse Hotel
1313 W. Washington Center Road
Fort Wayne, IN

 We all need a break from our busy lives, a time for reflection, time to listen for God's guidance. We are so busy doing all the things we are called upon to do, we don't often take the time to slow down, to sit back and think about the things that are really important, to pray, to listen, to study, to fellowship with United Methodist Women from across the conference, and to spend some time in reflection. Join us for this special time of renewal and spiritual growth.
