Registration Open: January 1 – March 14, 2025

WHAT:
It’s retreat time again, ladies!! We are so thrilled to be welcoming you to our 7th Annual Retreat at the LaDore Conference Center in Waymart, Pa. This is a great weekend of fellowship and study and fun. You do not want to miss out! The weekend includes 4 sessions with teaching, praise and worship, as well as times for fellowship, games, meals and recreational activities!

DATES/TIMES:

SPEAKER:
Lisa Radcliff is a writer and speaker in the Philadelphia area. She is the author of two books and has been teaching in youth ministry and women’s Bible studies for over thirty years. She is also a board certified mental health coach and offers one-on-one coaching for survivors of abuse. In her spare time, Lisa enjoys quilting, shopping, sports, and spending time with her family and friends. Lisa and her husband, Doug, have three married sons, nine grandchildren, and a 15-pound Cavapoo named Sasquatch.

THEME:
Unexpected: Lessons Learned in the Lineage: Our weekend includes 4 sessions taught by Lisa Radcliff. There will be a theme of God’s grace in using unexpected people and circumstances in His plan. We’ll see how “It’s no small thing to be a small part of something magnificent.” A key verse from our time together will be 1 Corinthians 1:26-27 “For consider your calling, brothers. Not many of you were wise according to worldly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth. But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong.”
