Women's Retreat

"When wind blows and the Spirit stirs, God is breathing new life into us!"
Companions in Christ,
The Way of Grace

2010 Womens' Retreat
May 14-16, 2010, Friday supper thru Sunday lunch

Registration form now available!

Once again the women of First Church will gather by the waters of Monterey Bay for a weekend—this time in May. Our retreat site, Villa Maria Del Mar, is a favored place of beauty, peace and tranquility for us, with sea-fresh air and the beach just steps away.

Come alone or bring a guest.

Leave chores, cooking behind.

Relax, unwind, enjoy, rest.

Open yourself to new friendships.

Explore spiritual themes together.

Be solitary if you choose.

Return home renewed and rested.

We do not have a retreat leader this year. Many women feel that it would be wonderful to spend a weekend at the Villa with or without a program. In the past, we have heard people say... " I wish we had more time to visit or rest or go to the beach  or read or."..fill in the blank with your favorite. This is your opportunity!

Mark your calendar for this weekend by the sea!

Partial fee assistance is possible—thanks to a gift from the United Methodist Women.
