other up through fellowship, prayer, worship, and Bible study.<br />

1. As a result we become stronger both individually and collectively,<br />

as we form new relationships and revive old ones.<br />

2. In this group setting we cultivate a unity that is pleasing to<br />

the Lord and empowers us for spiritual growth.<br />

3. We learn how to serve Him and others better.<br />

• Through retreats we are inspired to press into all that God has<br />

for us.<br />

Jesus spoke to His disciples saying,<br />

“Come with me by yourselves to a quiet<br />

place and get some rest.”<br />

I hope that going on retreat sounds appealing to you. If so, there<br />

are different types of retreats that you can consider.<br />

• A Personal Spiritual Retreat where you designate a specific period of<br />

time to spend with God.<br />

1. This can range for a few hours to a few days.<br />

2. You can spend it alone with the Lord or you can stay at a<br />

retreat center where someone will give you guidance.<br />

• A Group Retreat where you gather with others for a time of<br />

corporate worship, Bible study and fellowship as you all seek the<br />

Lord together.<br />

AN INVITATION:<br />

“Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest”<br />

Mark 6:31, (NIV). Right now in my life this invitation from the Lord<br />

sounds particularly appealing. A time of rest and renewal in the<br />

presence of my Lord and Savior is exactly what I need. Do you<br />

need that too?<br />

The Women’s Ministry Team is working hard to get everything<br />

ready for our annual retreat scheduled for <strong>September</strong> 21–23, 2018.<br />

The theme is “Fill My Cup”. The DOZ Praise Team is rehearsing like<br />

crazy in order to provide worship that will usher us into the presence<br />

of God. The Koinonia Praise Dancers are preparing beautiful<br />

selections to minister to our hearts. Workshop leaders are studying<br />

diligently to present workshops to equip and inspire us. We are<br />

preparing special activities and powerful messages that will<br />

change lives. Above all we are praying for the presence of the Lord<br />

God Almighty to saturate our retreat with His presence and do<br />

what only He can do in us. If this sounds like what you need, please<br />

sign up at the information counter. We would love to have you join<br />

us so that together we can be refreshed and renewed.<br />
