|
The last two years, we’ve found the annual Hartland Women’s Retreat to be joyful, worshipful, and impactful. Just ask some of the ladies who have gone. (You can start with Merleen.) This year we’ve reserved deluxe accommodations in Hartland’s Whispering Pines Lodge (across from the store and office). All linens provided. Bathroom in each room. Rooms accommodate 2 or 3 women (queen + single + trundle beds). Plus there is a large lounge we can use. Good news: Hartland lowered its rates + we get a group rate, so full weekend is $339. Learn more about Hartland Camp Women's Retreat.

Fall Ladies' Bible Study: Angels: Finding Hope in God Who Reigns over Heaven and Earth
The Ladies' Bible Study will return to action Monday, September 7, and meet every other Monday for eight sessions. Diane has been previewing this study for us and is very enthusiastic to share it with us.
From the Publisher:
The Bible speaks of angels often. They were present in the garden of Eden, and throughout the story of the Bible they appear to people with messages, encouragement, and tangible help. Angels ministered to Jesus after His temptation and before His crucifixion, and they shared the good news of His resurrection. Despite their frequent appearance in God’s Word, our impression of angels is more often shaped by the myths and misconceptions that have developed over the centuries.
In this 8-session Bible study, join Melissa Spoelstra as she traverses the terrain of Scripture from Genesis to Revelation to learn about angels—who they are, what they do, and what they have to do with you. There's no reason to fear or ignore what's happening in the supernatural, unseen realm—we can live with confidence that God is in control of it all. Angels is a call to put your hope in the God of angel armies who reigns over heaven and earth.
