SUMMARY:Women's Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Blue Ridge Women’s Retreat\n\nCome join us for a weekend (Thursday evening-Saturday) full of encouragement\, fellowship\, fun\, and great teaching at Rockbridge Alum Springs Camp in Goshen\, VA. \nMercy Women will be registering together as a group to attend this Presbytery-wide women’s retreat. \nClick here to register by February 9. \n\n\n  \n__\nWeekend Theme: Reviving Our Souls: Learning from the Skies and Scriptures \nWe all long for peace. In our day-to-day lives\, we often turn to entertainment\, possessions\, careers\, or politics in search of it. Yet these things frequently leave us feeling more overwhelmed and disheartened. \nThankfully\, the Psalms remind us that true peace\, peace that revives the soul and brings joy to the heart\, is found in the Lord. \nAt this retreat\, we’ll explore how David\, through the artistry of Psalm 19\, invites us to slow down and behold the power\, wisdom\, and goodness of God. Together\, we’ll reflect on how the Lord is revealed through the world around us\, through His Word before us\, and how these revelations draw us into deeper worship and lasting joy in Him. \nWeekend Teaching Outline:\nLesson 1: Introduction/Devotional\nLesson 2: God Reveals Himself in His World\nLesson 3: God Reveals Himself in His Word\nLesson 4: God Reveals Himself in His Worshippers \n  \n\nOur Speaker: Becky Kiern\nBecky enjoys exploring how the good news of God’s grace impacts every aspect of our lives. She is a graduate of Covenant Theological Seminary (2011)\, the author of several books\, and a practicing RN\, specializing in the care of adult cardiac surgery patients. She is currently a doctoral student at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School and resides in Nashville TN.\nhttps://www.beckykiern.com/ \n  \nActivities: Climbing wall\, ropes course\, fire pits\, coffee shop\, rocking chairs\, and more.
