Women's Retreat February 17-19, 2012. Join in for a time of worship, fellowship, and relaxation at the beach. Registration forms available soon. Contact Diane Haman if interested in helping organize the retreat. Help support the retreat by taking a turn at the Sacred Grounds Care. We depend on fundraising for speaker fees, decorations, and the fun extras. If we have enough crewmembers, each person would take one turn a month or less. It is a lot of fun and we train you to make the drinks or to take the orders or do both.
