Ladies' Retreat
Small Things - Making a Difference Right Where You Are
Saturday, February 12
10 am - 3 pm - Lunch Provided
Wouldn't you like to live an abundant and incredibly meaningful life finding beauty and laughter in all the small things right beneath the surface of every moment? Many of us think life is about the big things, but the substance of life is found in between those big things. A little attention to the small things in life, including friendships and the parts of you that may feel broken, can make a huge difference in something many of us struggle with: a deep sense of contentment and even joy.
You're invited for food, discussion, games, worship, and music as Teresa Cochran shares insights from Melanie Shankle's book: Church of the Small Things.
