Women of the Parish
Theme

"Water: The Power of Comfort and Healing"
Saturday, February 11, 2012; 9:00 am – 3:00 pm

Spring House Estates


One of God’s many gifts to us is water. As his children, we might use it for recreation, refreshment, exploration, nourishment, renewal, or delight. At times, we find that the gift of water can be healing and soothing to our bodies and souls. Come to the Women of Trinity Retreat and learn how water is a blessing that can be used for comfort and healing. Our time together will be enriching, fun, educational, and inspirational. Be assured this retreat will be a joyful experience! The retreat again will be led by Janet McKelvey (Linda McElroy’s sister) at Spring House Estates dining area. In addition to Janet, two other guests will add to our day’s experience. Registration cost of $35.00 includes continental breakfast, lunch, materials, and the day’s activities. Registration is limited to the 1st 40 paid reservations (checks payable to Trinity, please). Reservations can be accepted by Linda McElroy or Mary Ann Martz on Sunday mornings or in the church office during the week.
