The “Bloom & Grow” theme for last weekend’s Women’s Retreat could not have been more appropriate as more than 400 women came together to learn, laugh and expand their thinking on what it means to hear the Holy Spirit.
Not an easy topic to teach or grasp hold of, but keynote speaker Jill Briscoe did a fantastic job in her unique way of weaving stories and word pictures together to bring the message home.
The weekend was rainy and windy, but inside the Osthoff Resort many new friendships were brightening the resort. Many of the attendees were from Christ The Rock but a significant number of people came from other churches or with their mothers or their daughters. On Saturday, six women got baptized in the hotel pool!
Thanks and kudos to the 16-member planning team, the dozens of behind-the-scene folks, the workshop speakers and the women on the prayer team (who worked for a year to pray for this event before it even happened!)
Lots of mothers and daughters came together –all ages. Jill Briscoe taught on the Holy Spirit.
Thanks also to Stacy Lenz for taking photos! Here are just a few:
