33rd Annual Ladies’ Retreat

February 17 and 18, 2012

Anchorage Church of Christ

 “A House that Belongs to God"

 Formerly identified with the Anchorage Church of Christ, Dana Grubb, from San Antonio, Texas, will be our speaker. She is a mother, military wife, architect and a published author. Her book Changed by Jesus may be purchased for $15.00 or 2 for $25.00.

 During this special time, we will be sharing with our sisters through fellowship, Special Moments, prayer requests and Moonlight Madness. Plan now to be part of this year’s event. We ask you to join with the members of the committee in praying for the success of this retreat and we encourage you to invite your sisters and friends. ASL interpreting will be provided.

 Dress is casual, so plan to be comfortable. You do not have to stay overnight at the building, but two rooms will be provided for those who want to. One room is “lights out” at 11:00, and the other is at 2:00. If you are sleeping at the church building, remember to bring a sleeping bag, sleeping pad, pillow, toiletries, and any personal essentials you’ll need.

 This is a great time to encourage your husband to spend some extra special time with your children. This is also a good time for husbands to support women who need child care during the weekend.

 This retreat is for women, high school age and up. Based upon past evaluations, the elders request there be no children in attendance.

 You may order all the talks on one CD for $1.00 and pick it up on Sunday, February 19 or we will mail it to you.

  There is a $5.00 registration fee. However, if that is a hindrance, scholarships are available. Your early registration helps us with the planning for food and supplies for everyone.  Dinner and check-in  will begin at 5:00 PM on Friday. If you have not registered in advance, you may do so at that time. The retreat will end at approximately 4:00 PM on Saturday.

 Complete the registration form and return it and your $5.00 to Anchorage Church of Christ, 2700 DeBarr Rd., Anchorage, AK 99508-2978, fax it to 907-272-7586, e-mail it to project@gci.net, or give it to Verneta Wallace or one of the Anchorage church secretaries. You may also register on-line at anchoragechurchofchrist.org. Due to extra fees, the online registration states, the retreat is free. However, the $5.00 retreat fee applies to everyone. If you do register on-line, fax, or e-mail your form, you may pay when you arrive.
