Women's retreat set for April 13-15
By Kay Harms
Women throughout the state are invited to attend the third annual Arizona State Women's Retreat at Lost Canyon Ranch in Williams, Friday, April 13, through Sunday, April 15.
Attendees will explore how God provides more than just staying power in times of personal heartbreak and challenge. With the theme "More Than Me and My Shadow" and the focal Scripture of Isaiah 43:1-3, four speakers will share prayerful insights on struggle and victory from their personal experiences and the Word of God.
"We want women to know they are not alone during difficult times," said Laura Thomas, one of the event coordinators. "I believe this special weekend will provide encouragement for many ladies who are in the midst of crisis, and prepare us all for the difficult times we each inevitably face."
The conference includes four keynote sessions, multiple breakout session offerings, five meals, ample opportunities for down time, and two nights' accommodations. For additional information about the facility at Lost Canyon Ranch, visit their website at www.LostCanyon.younglife.org. Additional information about the retreat can be attained by calling the River Valley Baptist Association office at 928-753-9262 or visiting their website at www.rvba.net.
Retreat coordinators are also looking for men who would like to volunteer that weekend to cook, serve and clean up after the meals for the retreat under the supervision of the Lost Canyon staff. Accommodations and meals will be provided in return for their service. Interested men should contact the River Valley Association to enlist and receive more information.
Early bird registration, which is due by March 15, is $135 per person, but this rate can be secured with a $35 deposit if it is paid by the early bird date. The cost goes up to $145 after March 15 and there are no refunds past this date, but registrations can be transferred to other participants. Space is limited, so early reservations are recommended.
