WOMEN’S RETREAT
Yeast transforms flour, salt and water into delicious bread, leavening ordinary ingredients into something new. So, too, God comes to us through the “ordinary” in our lives to transform us into leaven for the world. At times God calls us to action, and at other times, God calls us to rest. Our women are invited to come away for a Women’s Retreat June 6-8, for a weekend of rest, relaxation, fellowship, study, and fun at Three Mountain Retreat Center in the Hill Country. Registration and deposit are due May 23 and the cost is $120. For more information, contact Alycia Erickson [alycia@shephills.org, 327-3370].
