Zone 11 LWML Retreat Recap | |
|
Last weekend (10/4-6) the Zone 11 LWML ladies hosted a retreat for all the CNH women at Kilauea Military Camp located in Volcanoes National Park on the big island of Hawaii. Retreat speakers included Pastor Doua Xiong, Linda Patel, Pastor Zier, and CNH LWML President Roxan Schwab. Pastor Mark Zier's adult class between worship services swelled to standing room only as many of the women and some husbands joined the study. It was a true blessing to be surrounded by so many sisters and brothers, as we all worshipped together!
