When God starts a masterpiece, he finishes it. Unlike us, he doesn't give up in the middle of a project. He sees it through. He carefully plans and he brings things to completion. That gives me great hope. Even though we are currently "unfinished," God is still at work.
Instead of being frustrated that we don't have everything figured out and aren't as put together as we would like to be, we can take a pause intentionally to let him continue the work in us that he has already started. There are pieces he may want to rearrange in our lives. We are each unfinished, but we are not alone.
Deep exhale. You can have moments of quiet with God in his beautiful creation at William O'Brien State Park to be refreshed. Rolling laughter. You can enjoy time building relationships with women across generations and cultures through conversation and energetic or low-key activities. Sticky fingers. You can eat some gooey s'mores, but healthier food options are also abundant. We will learn and be renewed through a extended personal retreat time through conversations with others women and through biblical teaching.
These are a few things you can anticipate if you participate in the fourth annual Women's Camping Retreat. We stay in tents. (Come prepared to share tents with new and old friends alike!) We have extra camping equipment if you don't have
any, including air mattresses for a comfier camping experience. There are real bathrooms with flushing toilets and hot showers nearby. We love to welcome women who have never camped and don't own any supplies to enjoy the weekend right along with seasoned camping veterans.

for $55 if you register and pay by June 1. After June 1, the price increases slightly. This includes camping for two nights, four meals, snacks, traveling
