The theme of the 2012 Heart
Matters Women's Retreat is "BRAVE"
Join
us as we take a journey together to become brave
women of God. The study to be covered during the
weekend is by author Angela Thomas. It looks
toward the heart of women and focuses on the
fears and struggles that many face. More than
that, we will see how God desires us to respond.
We will discover how God desires to help us
become brave in Him when facing the challenges
of life. We all have our own insecurities,
flaws, fears and struggles. Yet, God offers us
strength and hope.
If we are brave enough to
ask the questions, He will provide the answers.
We must be BRAVE!
Regardless your background
or circumstances, this weekend is for you. God
wants to meet you where you are and help you see
how your life story and circumstances can bring
Him glory! Step out and let Him. You won't be
alone in this journey. So, pick up your
sword and prepare to be BRAVE, changed, renewed
and loved!
The BRAVE study is often
done over a number of weeks, but we're doing it
in one weekend. Here's Angela Thomas "trying" to
tell us about the study.
The cost
of the weekend covers transportation from Orange
Park to St Simons Island and back (if you choose
to ride the bus,) lodging for two nights, all
meals on Saturday, breakfast on Sunday, all
teaching sessions and the BRAVE study book so
you can continue your journey after the weekend
wraps up. Friday night dinner is on your own.
In your
free time there are many things to do on the
island. You can take the time to be alone with
God or spend some time with other ladies. You
can relax by the pool, walk along the beach,
take a guided tour of the island, rent a golf
cart to explore the island on your own, enjoy a
relaxing massage, go kayaking, shopping or stay
around the hotel for a jewelry making class,
games or just take a nap. . .the options are
many!
*Guided
tours and golf cart rentals have an additional
cost.
