TESTIMONIALS:
"I really enjoyed Karen's use of scripture, artwork, music, prayer and small group discussions to deliver her message. It made for a very enjoyable and uplifting day that flew by. I left the retreat feeling renewed.""The experience was wonderful. I especially liked sharing the event with my mom and sisters. We have been sharing gratitude pictures and thoughts since the retreat. Since the retreat, I have been paying more attention to the graces in my life and feel like I am making grateful statement to myself and God all throughout the day, not just at my set aside prayer times. The speaker was engaging; and I could tell she was passionate about her love for God and what he has done in her life."

A Message from Karen to all retreat participants:
Hello all of you wonderful ladies!
I’ve heard from so many people who are unwrapping their gifts, remembering their “Ups,” and stepping into the invitation and out of the obligation. I am so happy to hear of tables that are staying connected and people who are renewed in their faith. God is so good!
As I was reading my Bible this morning, I stopped at a passage I highlighted years ago, and knew that I had to share it with you.So then you are no longer strangers and sojourners, but you are fellow citizens with the holy
ones and members of the household of God, built upon the foundation of the apostles and the
prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the capstone. Through him the whole structure is held
together and grows into a temple sacred in the Lord; in him you also are being built together
into a dwelling place of God in the Spirit. - Ephesians 2:19-22Perfect, isn’t it?
I promised you some resources, and we have so many.
Please fill out the survey! We’d like to know what you think and if you would like another retreat next year! https://forms.gle/mym56LDcYdieuSnY7
