You are invited to join us for our two-day Fall Retreat entitled “There’s So Much More: Love, Laugh, Learn, Lead”. “There’s So Much More” is designed to help women discover that there is so much more in life when you have a personal relationship with Jesus. Lives are transformed when you discover how the everyday, ordinary words of love, laugh, learn and lead can really make a difference in how you live life. We’ll look first and foremost at what God’s Word has to say to us and how we can apply it to our lives.

Led by Gail Ficken, this two-day retreat promises to be fun, experiential and inspirational. We will explore how much God loves us as we look at what the Bible says in Ephesians 3:16-20. We will talk about the importance of laughter and what threatens to steal our joy. We will learn about the importance of listening to God and others. And we will focus on whom we are leading and what kind of an impact we make in the lives of those around us. There will be singing, teaching, small group discussion, and time for personal reflection

We plan on having lots of fun together! Gail enjoys creating environments for women of all ages to discover more about themselves, their relationships and a God who deeply loves them. She has led a variety of women’s groups and retreats for over 20 years and brings a unique gift to integrating experience with the deeper insights from God.
