Women: Disciples of Christ OCT 11-13, 2013

This is an annual retreat for women of any age and any denomination held at Camp Duffield. This year the women from St. Paul's Lutheran Church will be planning the retreat. We are excited to have all the women come together and learn and worship the Lord this weekend. We look forward to meeting everyone.

Our Main Speaker
Carol says, “I am just a girl who is head over heels in love with Jesus ... passionately addicted to His Word ... and find all of the joy that I need in time spent in His presence." Carol is an author and popular speaker at women's conferences and retreats, where she teaches the Word of God with great joy and enthusiasm. She also hosts highly successful Just Joy! outreaches. Carol encourages and empowers women with passionate and practical biblical messages mixed with her own special brand of hope and humor.

Operation Christmas Child
We will be filling boxes up to help Samaritan's Purse send shoe-boxes all over the world to children in third world countries. We will be providing the boxes and we ask that you would bring small items to fill them with! We will also accept donations to use toward postage for the boxes. Our goal is to do 25 boxes. The boxes can be for ages 2-14 and we will be doing boxes for girls. You can go to samaritanspurse.org and click on the Operation Christmas Child link to see a list of what you can bring.

Times 
Registration is at 6:00 pm and the program starts at 7:00 pm on Friday, October 11th, so please ensure that you're leaving enough travel time to join us by then. Come on down and get ready to relax and decompress at Camp Duffield. We leave straight after worship before lunch on Sunday, so you should be home early in the day.

List any special dietary requirements for the Women's weekend that need to be met on the back of the registration form or please call Meribeth Zeimer with dietary questions. Her phone number is 805-8313.
