"Pause with Purpose...Finding Your Space"
Saturday, February 10, 10:00 a.m.
Women of St. Christopher's, please join the Daughters of the King for a special program presented by Dorinda Dick. The content is about retreating to find your relationship with God. It is about being still and listening...not as the world gives you, but as God speaks to you in silence and calm.
|
|
Pause with purpose is intentionally finding the space and time to be nearer to God and to awaken your daily spirit in walking with Christ. It is about finding avenues to pause and be silent. The presentation will be in the Parlor.

Show your love for Waycross Camp and Conference Center at a fundraiser dinner and silent auction to be held at St. Pauls, Indianapolis. Know someone who also loves Waycross? Consider purchasing tickets as a gift for birthdays, Valentine's Day or "just because."
