Women’s Retreat November 8-10
Girl friends understand the healing properties of laughter, chocolate and a good long shopping trip. We invite you to mark your calendar for November 8-10 and meet us a Higher Ground Retreat Center for a time of Great Fellowship. This year’s theme is “Café Chocolate.” Who doesn’t enjoy chocoloate? When you can combine it with sessions that draw us closer to the Lord, can it get any better? We’ll be drawn closer to Jesus through worship, discussion, quiet reflection, Christian service and more.
