A few years ago, in response to the Church Council's year-long focus on spirituality, the Adult Education Committee began offering a second and different kind of women's spiritual retreat in the fall. We go to a nearby retreat center (in recent years Banning Mills) in September with an outside facilitator for a more structured weekend of spiritual exploration, guided reflection and sharing. Our topics have included Sabbath, Setting Priorities, and Peace. The topic for 2010 is "A SPA Retreat," (Simplicity, Peace and Abundance).
NDBC Fall Women's Spiritual Retreat 2010: In-spa-ration…
Would you like to spend time with other women who want to grow in their faith, strengthen old friendships and create new ones? Do you want to simplify your life, find more peace, and become more aware of God's abundance all around you? Are you looking for a break from your hectic life and new ways to energize your spiritual life?
If so, NDBC invites you to attend a special weekend focusing on Simplicity, Peace and Abundance, a SPA retreat, September 17-19, 2010, at The Lodges at Historic Banning Mills in Whitesburg, GA. Our weekend facilitator will be Ellen Shepard, minister of religious life at the United Methodist Children's Home in Decatur, GA and experienced women's retreat leader.
Rooms will be mostly triples with three beds and a bath. The weekend will begin with dinner on Friday evening, followed by a program. Saturday will include a morning session, a free afternoon for rest or adventure, and an evening program. We will wrap up with a session and worship on Sunday morning followed by lunch. Total cost for the weekend will be approximately $250/person for lodging, meals and programs.
