Terra Nova Women’s Retreat 2011

“Suffering and Glory ~ Following the path of Jesus”

Silver Bay Retreat Center, Lake George

July 14 – 16

Can you believe that this year’s Women’s Retreat is only 7 weeks away?  I hope you are getting excited for a weekend away with God and your sisters from Terra! Below you will find info on the most pertinent retreat details…

Cost: $150 ~ includes 2 nights’ stay, 5 full meals, 2 evening snacks and desserts, all retreat materials, full use of all Silver Bay facilities and equipment. (Registration is on the City in the Women at Terra Nova Group).

Time:  The retreat begins on Thursday, July 14^th @ 7 pm, and ends on Saturday, July 16^th at 2:30, though you’re welcome to enjoy Silver Bay until 4.

Place: We will be staying in lovely Hepbron Lodge, a classic example of the early Adirondack lodge style.  Each room is a double, with its own sink.  Take time to explore their website:  www.silverbay.org, and refer to their Guest Services Handbook at www.silverbay.org/index.php/site/guest_services where you will find answers to many of your questions

Content: Our topic this year is suffering.  Many of us are currently struggling through trials, and in our pain, may be feeling lost, confused, or disappointed with our lives.  Maybe you are trying to sort out God’s purpose and plan in the aftermath of suffering.  We know that suffering is going to be a real part of the life of any Christ-follower.  As we delve into the way of suffering together, we will include discussions from A Path Through Suffering by Elisabeth Elliot.  Please take the time to read this book before the retreat.  If you own a copy and are willing to lend it out, please post that here.

More retreat details will be posted in the coming days.  If you have any pressing questions or concerns, feel free to post them here and we will do our best to answer them, or email Diane Marcelle directly (diane@terranovachurch.org). If you are a retreat veteran, you need to share your experiences with other women ~ post comments here!  If you have yet to attend a Terra Women’s retreat, be open and willing to sign up this year.  You will not regret it!
