Nearly 200 women are with Sheila and me at the Oakwood Inn on Lake Wawasee. Kathy Guy ran point on our first meeting tonight. When she finished, Jason Miller lead worship with a cadre of musicians. I stood up in the afterglow of worship and preached the opening session.
God showed up. This retreat is awesome!
Sheila and I used to lead all the GCc Women's Retreats. I'm honored to be here with Sheila again. Weekends like this help us take steps toward Christ...and each other. We're glad we're here.
Galatians 5:22-24 - "But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things! Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to his cross and crucified them there."
I went to the Women's retreat when Gail McDonald spoke. I had only lived in IN for a month and the first person I met was Judy Gregory. It was a great time to connect w/ God and other ladies. I was unable to go this year (little kids, no child care), but hopefully next time! Will GCC be posting it on their media player?
