Women's Retreat - Nov. 2-4
|
FPC women of all ages, join us for a wonderful weekend of relaxation, laughter, and growth. Mary Sellers Shaw will lead our study time on Saturday morning as we discuss the story of Ruth and Naomi, exploring calling, courage, and the power of women walking together. Come enjoy the beauty of NaCoMe and make deeper connections with God and one another. Here are the words of a past attendee about her experience:
“Friendship, faith, fellowship, and fun were in abundance at the Women’s Retreat. The retreat gave me the opportunity to both connect with others in a deeper way and time for individual reflection and prayer. I’m so grateful for the time we had together.”
Register today on the church
website
and invite a friend to join you.

Colonel Whitson retired in 2002 after 36 years of service, and then served as the Regional Manager Army ROTC Support Contact until 2011. Please plan to join us if you are a veteran and bring your family so we can all honor your service together. We also welcome all members of the congregation to join us.
