Women's Retreat Spring 2007

Sylvia has been working for months on preparing a spring Women's Retreat at our church, Pleasant Valley North Baptisit Church. She and a few other women have been rather busy the last few weeks, getting supplies, signing women up, preparing the lessons, etc. And in the last few days, Sylvia has turned into a human tornado, always busy running from place to place, getting last-minute supplies, hoping late orders come in, getting it all done.

Two weeks ago 29 women were coming, but this past Sunday morning they'd pushed past 40 women. By Sunday night the count had crossed 50, so some last-minute adjustments had to be made. But it has all come together, and tomorrow night, many women from our church and community will come together to study God's Word, fellowship, encourage each other and be encouraged, and of course to eat chocolate (hence the name).

Whether you see this before tomorrow, before the retreat finishes Saturday afternoon, after the retreat finishes, or way after the retreat finishes, your prayers would be appreciated. Please pray that these women will strenghten their relationships with God and develop bonds with other godly women, and that the impact after the retreat won't fade. Please also pray for Sylvia as she leads the group of women overseeing this event, and as she prepares other retreats in the future. Pray that these women will taste and see the goodness of God.
