CCPC Women's Retreat

This was my first time to attend our church's Women's Retreat and I have to give Susan, Kathy, Gayle and Margaret credit for their sweet perseverance inviting me.  I had a wonderful time.  The theme of the weekend was Sabbath Delight.  Something most of us don't think a lot about much less siege the opportunity.

Karen Ebling and Cindy McIntyre were our MCs and did a great job.  They were entertaining and kept the program very interesting.

Margaret showed us some talent that I was not aware of....

The weekend was filled with fun, fellowship and some music.

Saturday was Prom day/night.  It was all about giving yourself time for the Sabbath, to play and enjoy life however that may be. Karen and Cindy came out with the most obnoxious mums.  It was too funny. 

Sarah Riehm put together an a small group of ladies that could sing like angels.  The three ladies in the background are Ellen Dittman and her two daughter-in-laws.  How special would that be to have your daughter-in-laws there and sing with them?

We had Communion on Sunday and it was so special.  Judy Howle was our Small Group Facilitator and chose for us to pass the bread and cup around to each other.  I just love serving communion in this manor.  It's so personal to speak the name of the person you are serving...

This was my Small Group for the weekend...
