 Sign up now for the 2010 Women's Retreat "Stories of Sisterhood"
March 26-27 at the Tall Oaks Retreat Center.
We are honored to welcome Rev. Erika Marksbury as our retreat leader. Erika is a Saint Andrew member and Assistant Professor of Humanities at Ottawa University. She will lead us in celebrating the gifts of sisterhood through storytelling and community building.
If you can't join us for Friday evening, you are more than welcome to come Saturday only at a reduced fee. Registration forms are available in the Hearth Room on Sunday mornings, download one now by clicking here or email denise@sacchome.org for more information.
Please join us for some time away to reconnect with yourself, with other women, with God. This retreat can be whatever you make of it - time to be alone, time to hang out and make new friends, time to be inspired, time to have fun! In addition to hearing from Rev. Marksbury, there will be interesting breakout groups, music, a book swap, and more!
Hope to see you there!
