I attended a retreat with about 50 women from my church over the past weekend, and I really enjoyed it. It was really nice to get to know several of them a little better.
We spent Friday night sitting around a bonfire, and after about an hour of just chatting, someone began singing hymns. We sang for at least an hour, maybe more, newer ones and older songs. The harmonies were incredible. We have a lot of beautiful voices in our membership.
The retreat center at Center Hill lake is beautiful this time of year, and we had great weather. Between sessions, we had time to walk around, time to play games, and time to just sit and talk with one another. We had more singing on Saturday (technical glitches with the projector provided a great opportunity to fill the space and time with joyous sounds) and Sunday.
Our devotional Sunday morning was another highlight of the trip for me, focusing on John chapters 13-18 in a way I hadn’t heard before. The women who put it all together worked hard to make the weekend a success, and they did a fabulous job. I hope to be able to go again next year.
