Today is our long-awaited Ladies’ Retreat at church. It’s been a busy week finishing up preparations, but I’m so excited to see what the Lord is going to do this weekend; spite whatever it is I’ve forgotten to cover in details!
The church has been lightly decorated. The furniture in the foyer has been rearranged. The resource table has new books ready for purchase. We’ve also added some beautiful journals (only $3!) so someone can pick up a new book to scribe their walk with God. The sanctuary’s platform has been made more feminine so our speakers will feel more comfortable up there. The gym has been set for our Saturday lunch. Each table has hydrangeas as a centerpiece. There are candles everywhere in the church. Since our theme is John 8:12 (When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”) we have lights all through the church to serve as a reminder of our Savior, our Light – the One who makes a difference.
Would you pray for this retreat? Things to pray about:
- Pray that it will be significant in the lives of those that attend.
- Pray that the guests that have been invited will attend.
- Pray that women will be saved as a result of hearing the Gospel.
- Pray for women that are struggling with issues to get victory by the Truth they hear.
- Pray for our speakers to be vessels that God will use.
- Pray that the workshop leaders will know of God’s enablement as they teach their workshop.
- Pray that Christ will be glorified in all that is done.
- Pray that we will be changed as a result of this retreat.
If you’re in the area I’ll look forward to seeing you tonight. If you’re elsewhere I wish you could join us! I’ll post pictures of the retreat next week. I can’t wait to share with you what the Lord does!
