Womens Retreat <strong>2017</strong><br />

All attendees of the Womens Retreat weekend<br />

Ladies from around South NSW have again enjoyed<br />

a wonderful retreat at the Adventist Alpine Village.<br />

Under the leadership of Heather Buchanan, the Wagga<br />

Wagga ‘girls’ had a special time for all. Sherryn Kieltyka,<br />

who works with ADRA, came all the way from Ethiopia to<br />

share insights from The Word around the theme JOY! Her<br />

messages touched lives.<br />

Guest Speaker Sherryn Kieltyka<br />

Prayer, praise, fellowship, good food and fun all contributed<br />

to this being a time of spiritual nurture. Looking beyond<br />

ourselves and seeing needs led to the generous<br />

giving of $2,360 in an offering for New Hope Orphanage,<br />

which is supported by ADRA Ethiopia.<br />

Of the 133 registered, a large number were first-time<br />

attenders. Teens shared the time with the more experienced<br />

ladies and added a special energy to the weekend.<br />

From all reports everyone thoroughly enjoyed the <strong>2017</strong><br />

experience.<br />

South NSW ladies are invited to save the date for our retreat<br />

next year, 2018. The South Canberra ladies with the<br />

support of some from Canberra National are preparing a<br />

special time for the last weekend in May, 25-27th.<br />
