Women’s reTREAT!

Camp CONNRI Lodge and Conference Center

The annual women’s reTREAT will help you step out of that “noise and confusion” and leave the treadmill of expectations and pressures of daily life and ministry behind. It is a time to restore your soul (and body!) and replenish your spirit; it is a time to be nurtured and cared for by other sisters in Christ. As women who are involved in leading and serving, we need the body of Christ and the nourishment of loving sisters sharing, praying and holding one another accountable just as much as any of those God calls us to serve.

Singing Hills Retreat and Conference Center, 71 King Drive, Plainfield, NH

03/22/2019 4:00 pm03/24/2019 1:00 pm

When we face hard times, we can be plagued by a sense of isolation and loneliness. In those times, we need others who can validate where we are and yet, give us space to endure it in our own way with Christ. If you’re longing for the courage and confidence to carry on despite numerous challenges, you’ll find what you need at this retreat. Through gentle humor, transparent tales of her own hard times, and a deep dive into how several Bible figures persevered through trial, Lori reveals how we all can access Christ-centered courage and confidence even in desolate places.

Talks include: Friday night – The Confidence of Knowing We Are Seen, Saturday Morning – The Courage to Face Our Truth as God Sees It, Saturday Evening – The Courage to Speak the Truth, and Sunday morning – The Conviction of Seeing What Others Cannot See.
